Giovanni da Verrazzano's second expedition took place in 1524, commissioned by King Francis I of France. This voyage aimed to explore the eastern coast of North America, where Verrazzano famously navigated from Florida to Newfoundland, mapping the coastline and seeking a potential route to the Pacific. His explorations provided valuable information about the geography and indigenous peoples of the region. The expedition ultimately contributed to European interest in North American exploration and colonization.
