Sebastián Gaboto
Sebastián Gaboto was a Venetian navigator educated in England who became the Pilot Major of the Spanish crown after the death of Juan Díaz de Solís. He is known for his ambitious expeditions in the early 16th century, notably his search for the mythical El Rey Blanco in South America, which led him to establish the first Spanish settlement in Argentina, Fuerte Sancti Spiritu. Gaboto later served the English crown and contributed to the exploration of Canada.
