What was the name of the Portuguese who discovered Cape Verde?

Asked by Wiki User

Many of the Portuguese discoveries were done in secrecy and as we are finding out more and more many of the "official" discovery dates were not when they were discovered but possibly much earlier as much a over 100 yrs earlier in some cases.

Cape Verde was discovered sometime in late 1300's or 1400's.

Portuguese were in what is known today as USA over 100 yrs prior to the Pilgrims this is recorded in the Dighton Rock which Miguel Corte Real inscribed in 1511 well over 100 years prior to the Plymouth Rock. History has to be corrected to reflect this. www.1492.us.com and www.colombo.bz
