While it is commonly believed that the continent of America is named after 15th-16th century cartographer Amerigo Vespucci, there is growing evidence that it is in fact named after Welshman Richard Ameryk, the owner of the ship that John Cabot used to sail to North America in 1497. A letter, discovered in 1504, once believed to have been printed in 1497, and penned by Amerigo Vespucci, is now believed to be a forgery.
