João Vaz Corte-Real ((:ʒuˈɐ̃w̃ vaʃ ˈkoɾt(ɨ) ʁiˈaɫ); born c. 1420 – died 1496) was a Portuguese sailor, claimed by some accounts to have been an explorer of a land called ''Terra Nova do Bacalhau'' (''New Land of the Codfish''), speculated to possibly have been a part of North America. For his efforts, Corte-Real was offered the Donatário-Capitancies of São Jorge and Angra, respectively. ==Biography== Corte-Real was the father of Miguel and Gaspar Corte-Real, who some claim accompanied him on his voyage. Fragmentary evidence suggests the expedition in 1473 was a joint venture between the kings of Portugal and Denmark, and that Corte-Real accompanied the German sailors Didrik Pining and Hans Pothorst, as well as (the possibly mythical) John Scolvus. The claim that he discovered ''Terra Nova do Bacalhau'' (literally, ''New Land of the Codfish'') originated from Gaspar Frutuoso's book ''Saudades de terra'' from around 1570-80. There is speculation that this otherwise unidentified isle was Newfoundland. Frutuoso further suggested that Corte-Real was granted part of Terceira because of this discovery. This is contrasted by his contemporary grant which says nothing about any discovery, but explains his grant with the "expenses he had incurred" and "services rendered". Because of the lack of corroborating evidence, the claims of discovery remain entirely speculative.〔Diffie et al., 1977, p. 447-449〕
