Best Answer

Vasco Nunez de Balboa is a conquistador who is best remembered for being the first European to view the eastern edge of the Pacific Ocean. He also founded the first permanent settlement by Europeans in the New World. Over the course of his life as an explorer, de Balboa made two voyages. His first voyage was from the Spanish Kingdom to the isle of Hispanola where he tried to (unsuccessfully) settle. His second voyage took him to the Panama isthmus where he hid away on an ship to escape his debtors.

Years later, after claiming the South Sea for Spain, he was arrested by the jealous governor of the colony and beheaded after a hasty trial.
