Giovanni da Verrazzano sailed in 1524 under the commission of the French crown to explore the North American coast. His primary goals were to find a new route to Asia and to establish French claims in the New World. Verrazzano is notable for being the first European to enter New York Harbor and for mapping portions of the Atlantic coastline, contributing to European knowledge of the continent.
