Explorers went sailing to locate new information, to conquer land, and to dig for gold in some parts of the world.
Leif Erickson, a Norse Explorer came to America some 500 years before 1492. He founded colonies in Greenland and Newfoundland. Portuguese Maps drawn 50 years before 1492 show the coast of Brazil. Apparently English fishermen were fishing off the coast of North America before 1492. John Cabot checked out their reports. Thor Heyerdahl thought some hieroglyphics indicated that an Egyptian reed boat visited the Americas. He made one and showed that such was possible. Indications exist that Chinese explorers found North America.
There were no Americans in 1492, and the false assumption that the North American continent was discovered in 1492 was attributed to Christopher Columbus - a Spaniard. In reality, the Vikings beat him to it by some 300+ years.

The early Maori explorers were skilled navigators and seafarers who voyaged across the vast Pacific Ocean in ocean-going canoes known as waka. These intrepid explorers settled in New Zealand around 800 years ago, and their voyages demonstrate their advanced knowledge of navigation and their courage to travel great distances across open seas. Some notable early Maori explorers include Kupe, Hoturapa, and Turi.
Some early explorers in Washington include George Vancouver, who explored and charted the Pacific Northwest coast in the late 18th century, and Lewis and Clark, who undertook an expedition to the region in the early 19th century.

Some early explorers of Washington state were Captain George Vancouver, who explored the Puget Sound area in the late 18th century, and Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, who traveled through the region during their expedition across the American West in the early 19th century. These explorers played a significant role in documenting the geography and native cultures of the area.
Some positive effects of the First Nations' contact with early explorers include trade of goods and resources, sharing of knowledge and cultures, and the establishment of diplomatic relationships. This contact also led to the exchange of ideas and technologies that benefited both groups.
