The earliest could have been the Norse, but we just don't have the record to know for sure. These are the early explorers that we know about:
- 1498--John Cabot sailed along the coast of Massachusetts in search of a northwest passage.
- 1524--Giovanni da Verrazzano surveyed the North American coast from Maryland to Cape Cod.
- 1602--Bartholomew Gosnold brought his ship into Provincetown harbor; he also named Cape Cod.
- 1604 to 1606--Samuel de Champlain charted the coastline from Canada to Cape Cod.
