(the ‘first known european navigator’ to enter ‘new york harbor’ and the ‘hudson river’, while crossing ‘the narrows’)
(in ‘1528’, during his 3rd voyage to ‘north america’, after exploring ‘florida’, ‘the bahamas’, and the ‘lesser antilles’, ‘verrazzano’ anchored away from shore + rowed ashore, probably on the island of ‘guadeloupe’)
(once there, he was killed + eaten by the native ‘carib’ inhabitants)
*you won’t see this tidbit mentioned in too many ‘history books’ these days*
(the fleet of 2 (or 3) ships were anchored out of ‘gunshot range’ and no one could respond in time)

(in retribution for his fellow ‘italian’ columbus and his barbaric treatment of the ‘natives’)
