AMERIGO VESPUCCI - Explorer - Navigator - Discoverer of the New World

On Traveling Through History. we review Amerigo Vespucci, the lesser known but hugely impactful explorer, navigator and Discoverer of the New World, called "The Americas" named after his first name.  Amerigo Vespucci was also a cartographer, accountant and cartographer who assisted Christopher Columbus to prepare for his voyages and took inspiration from him to seek his own expeditions to discover lands unknown.

Vespucci participated in at least two voyages of the Age of Discovery between 1497 and 1504, first on behalf of Spain (1499–1500) and then for Portugal (1501–1502).  In 1503 and 1505, two booklets were published under his name containing colorful descriptions of these explorations and other voyages. Both publications were extremely popular and widely read throughout much of Europe.  Historians still dispute the authorship and veracity of these accounts, but they were instrumental in raising awareness of the discoveries and enhancing the reputation of Vespucci as an explorer and navigator.

Vespucci claimed to have understood in 1501 that Brazil was part of a fourth continent unknown to Europeans, which he called the "New World".  The claim inspired cartographer Martin Waldseemüller to recognize Vespucci's accomplishments in 1507 by applying the Latinized form "America" to a map showing the New World.  Other cartographers followed suit, securing the tradition of marking the name "America" on maps of the newly discovered continents.

We take a look at two short videos about Amerigo Vespucci and his impact on the Age of Discovery.
