be a poor geographer. He ended up in a debtor‘s 
prison. He never realised that he had discovered 
unknown western continents, and to his dying 
day in 1506 he never admitted to locating any 
place but the Indies. Geographers overlooked his 
contribution and named the Western continents 
after another mariner, Amerigo Vespucci, a 
merchant from Florence who participated in a 
Portuguese expedition to South Americas in 1501. 
In a widely reprinted letter, Vespucci contended 
that a ―new world‖ had been found, and it was his 
name that caught on.
