What He Accomplished
Mr. Verranzano was quite famous for charting the Atlantic coast of North American between the Carolinas and Newfoundland, including the New York Harbor in 1524. He was originally looking for a Northwest passage. But before this happened, he had to meet the French king at the time, who was Francis I. The two met in 1522, and Verranzano convinced Francis that he was the right man for the expedition they were about to take. Considering that France was behind other countries when it came to exploring. So King Francis I, in 1523, asked Verranzano if he would explore the areas between Terranova, the "New found land" and Florida. They set off months later, but the four ships were reduced to only two when a violent storm hit. This caused the two remaining ships to return to France. In the final weeks of 1523, they set sail again, since the repairs to the remaining two ships were complete. After a stop ion Madeira, complications forced La Normandeback to home port, but Verranzano's ship, La Dauphine, pioleted by Antoine de Conflans, departed on January 17, 1524, headed once again for North America. They reached the area around Cape Fear around march 1, then proceeded to the modern day Pamlico sound.After they left there, they headed Northward. As they did so, they came across different tribes of native Americans, but Verranzano failed to notice that in the entrances to the Chesapeake bay, or the mouth of the Delaware river. With the finacial support of Jean Ango and Pilippe de Chabot, Veranzano arranged a second voyage that departed from Dieppe with four ships in early 1527. This voyage was a partial success, although they didn't find the direct passage to the Pacific, this inspired another voyage in early 1528. This voyage was anything but a success, after he explored part of Florida and the Bahamas, he anchored and rowed ashore. The island was supposedly Guadeloupe. He was then killed and eaten by the native inhabitants, which concluded the expedition.
