Other Spanish Expeditions
Many other Spanish explorers visited the shores of the United States before 1550.
Some sailed along the Pacific coast.
Others sailed along the Atlantic coast.
The Spaniards also made several attempts to found settlements both on the northern shore of the Gulf of Mexico and on Chesapeake Bay.
But all these early attempts ended in failure.
In 1550, there were no Spaniards on the continent within the present limits of the United States, except possibly a few traders and missionaries in the southwest.

Early French Voyages, 1524-1536
The first French expedition to America was led by an Italian named Verrazzano, but he sailed in the service of Francis I, King of France.
He made his voyage in 1524 and sailed along the coast from the Cape Fear River to Nova Scotia.
He entered New York Harbor and spent two weeks in Newport Harbor.
He reported that the country was as pleasant as it is possible to conceive.
The next French expedition was led by a Frenchman named Cartier.
