At the turn of the sixteenth century, Vespucci undertook a series of voyages (the number of which remains unresolved) in search of a western passage to the Indies.

[33][36] Hudd postulated that Cabot named the land that he had discovered after Ameryk, from whom he received the pension conferred by the king.
