Life
Juan de Bermudez was born in Palos de la Frontera (southern Spain) and was in the 1492 travel of Columbus, when America was discovered.
In 1505, while sailing back to Spain from a provisioning voyage to Hispaniola in the ship La Garça (or Garza), he discovered Bermuda, which was later named after him.[1] Legatio Babylonica, published in 1511 by Peter Martyr d'Anghiera, lists "La Bermuda" among the Atlantic islands. In 1515 he returned to Bermuda, landing a dozen pigs and sows for any unlucky mariners who might later be castaway there.[1]
Bermúdez made 11 registered trips to the New World from 1495 to 1519.[2]
Juan de Bermudez died in 1570.
