VICENTE YANEZ PINION

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 632 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VICENTE YANEZ PINION , who commanded the " Nina" in 14921493, also gave Columbus material help, and remained loyal to his leader throughout. In after years he made important discoveries on his own account.
Late
  in December 1499 he sailed with four caravels across the Atlantic to the
south
 -west, and on the 7th of February 1500 he struck the
South
  American continent at Cape S. Agostinho, near its most easterly projection (called by him Cape Santa Maria de la Consolacion) almost three months before the Portuguese navigator Cabral reached Brazil, the discovery of which is generally attributed to him. Proceeding southwards a short distance, he then turned north, followed the
coast
  to the north-west, discovered the Amazon estuary, and went at least as far as what is now Costa Rica. After touching at Haiti, and losing two of his vessels among the Bahamas, Vicente returned to Palos in the end of September 1500. Although concessions were made to him, and he was created
governor
  of the newly discovered lands by Ferdinand and Isabella, he does not seem to have ever taken possession. In 1507 we find Vicente sailing with Juan Diaz de
Solis
  along the
east
 
coast
  of Central America. In 1509, again with De
Solis
 , he coasted the Atlantic side of South America as far as the La Plata estuary, hoping to find an opening westwards leading to the Spice Islands. According to Herrera, he even reached 4o S.,
passing the La Plata without recognizing it, and turning back about the mouth of the Rio Negro, but this is probably an exaggeration. After 1523 all traces of Vicente are lost.
