When did Verrazano find the algonquin Indians?

Answer 1

It was April 17th 1524 and the Navigator had entered into the Bay of New York, penetrating by way of the Strait now called the Narrows into the northern bay which he baptised Santa Margherita in honour of the King of France's sister. He landed on the tip of Manhattan and perhaps on the furthest point of Long Island. Giovanni's stay in this magnificent place was interrupted by a storm which pushed him north towards Martha's Vineyard where he found respite in the town now known as Newport. The expedition rested here for two weeks, from April 24th to May 6th, entering in contact and fraternising with the local population. The great enterprise had been accomplished, the whole length of coast from Florida to Cape Breton, land to which the navigator gave the name "Francesca", had been discovered.
