Alonso Álvarez de Pineda (1494-1520) was in competition with Cortes and sailed along the Gulf Coast from Florida to Mexico, and is thought to have entered Mobile Bay. On reaching Mexico, he was killed in battle with natives, even as Cortes was beginning his attempt to overcome the Aztecs in Tenochtitlan (Mexico City).
Pineda's travel confirmed two things:
1) that North America, from Mexico to Florida, was a large continent, rather than separate islands
2) that there apparently was no water route through Mexico or North America to the west (the Indies)
At the time, there was no direct knowledge of the true size of the Pacific Ocean, first seen by Balboa in 1500.
