Vespucci was born in 1454 to a prominent family in Florence Italy. As a young man he read widely and collected books and maps. While in Spain Amerigo Vespucci began working on ships and ultimately went on his first expedition as a navigator in 1499. This expedition reached the mouth of the Amazon River and explored the coast of South America. On his second voyage in 1501 Amerigo Vespucci sailed under the Portuguese flag. After leaving Lisbon it took Vespucci 64 days to cross the Atlantic Ocean due to light winds. His ships followed the South American coast to within 400 miles of the southern tip Tierra del Fuego. While on this voyage Vespucci wrote two letters to a friend in Europe. He described his travels and was the first to identify the New World of North and South America as separate from Asia. (Until he died Columbus thought he had reached Asia.)
