Greetings, I am Estêvão Gomes, a mariner hailing from Porto in Portugal. I had the honor of sailing in the fleets of both Portugal and Castile, including the renowned Magellan expedition of 1519. My navigational expertise was put to the test as the pilot major aboard the San Antonio, although my aspirations for captaincy were left unfulfilled. My endeavors in exploring the eastern coasts of present-day New England and Nova Scotia have contributed to the mapping of North America, notably depicted by the skilled cartographer Diogo Ribeiro.
