1 Vasco Núñez de Balboa (Jerez de los Caballeros, Spain; 1475 - Acla, Panama; January 15, 1519) was an explorer, governor, and Spanish conquistador, and is known as the first European to see the Pacific Ocean from the New World as well as being the first European to found a permanent settlement on the new continent's mainland.
2 Amerigo Vespucci (March 9, 1454 - February 22, 1512) was an Italian merchant and cartographer who voyaged to and wrote about the Americas. His exploratory journeys along the eastern coastline of South America convinced him that a new continent had been discovered, a bold contention in his day when many thought the seafaring trailblazers setting out from European docks were travelling to East Asia and South Asia.
3 March 27 1513 - Juan Ponce de Leon becomes the first European definitely known to sight what is now the territory of the United States (specifically Florida) mistaking it for another island.
