My explorer is Panfilo de narvez. He is very courageous and brave. Narvez helped fight against Cuba in 1511.(they won) Panfilo de narvez led a big expedition from Spain because of orders from the king. He and his men left in 1527. On the way there to Florida they died from a horrible storm. In all I agree that Panfilo de narvez was a very brave soldier and explorer!

My FL explorer is Pánfilo De Narváez and I know that: He was courageous and brave to set sail all the way from Spain 🇪🇸 all the way to Florida,Tampa bay and once they arrived there they traveled 🧳 north seeking to find a place to settle. But before all of that Pánfilo set sail in 1527 to find more land to claim for Spain 🇪🇸 but the only reason he was chosen for this dangerous journey to the new world 🌎 was that he helped Spain 🇪🇸 win against Cuba 🇨🇺 in 1511. They succeeded in claiming the land that they promised to Spain 🇪🇸 BUT on their way BACK to Spain 🇪🇸 Pánfilo and his men drowned in a terrible storm ⛈ right off the coast of Texas and they never made it back to Spain 🇪🇸.😿🥺😢☹️🙁😟😔😣. But that is why we honor him by remembering him and his glorious history.😉

My Florida explorer was Jaun Ponce de León. He is avery important to us because he found Florida in 1513. He was also a big part of the Spanish government and was sent colonize many islands and landforms. He was also the govonour of Puerto Rico. One of the reasons he was so trusted was because he often found gold, minerals, and spices. It is said that he found Florida in search of the Fount of Youth. Sadly while on his second trip to Florida in 1521 he was shot in the thigh by a Calusa arrow. He was brought to Cuba to rest but did not make it through. Sorry! Out of space.

My explorer was called Sir Francis Drake the reason why he’s a famous explorer is because is he was born in 1540 he went to Queen Elizabeth to work for her and sailed to ST. Agustine.The reason why he went to ST. Agustine is because he went there with his soldiers to burn ST. Agustine down.

Panfilo de Narvaez left Spain in 1527 with 5 ships.Then landed in Cuba until 1528. Then he left Cuba and sailed to Tampa Bay where he and 300 men went on an overland expedition north.They also had a hard journey because they fought the Indians. But a windy fierce storm came and lots of his men died even he did. But luckily 4 men survived. Panfilo de Narvaez was a really brave explorers and important in Florida's history.

Jean Ribow was a French explorer who traveled from Spain to Florida. This had all started when the French colony wanted a place in the New World Florida and sent Jean and 300 men to find some land. Jeans whole goal was to drive out the Spanish to get the land. This did not work out. This was because he needed more tools and help. Jean asked queen Elizabeth for help but she sent him to jail, because he was trying to steal the Spanish land. But really this explorer is important because he bravely went seeking land for the French colony.
