Giovanni da Verrazzano was sponsored by France. In 1524, he was commissioned by King Francis I to explore the eastern coast of North America. His expedition aimed to find a westward route to the Pacific and to establish French claims in the New World. Verrazzano is best known for being one of the first Europeans to explore the Atlantic coast of North America, including areas that are now part of modern-day New York.
