Maybe you mean Zachary Mudge on the Fenis and St. Joseph? A bit further North, but also very early (1792), and an open boat cross-Pacific sail to Macao. Pustelnik (talk) 00:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Other historical accounts about Clipperton indicate that he was captured and executed by Spanish naval forces. Why the discrepancy in accounts?--Scipio-62 21:10, 20 February 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scipio-62 (talk • contribs)

Lezo
There is no evidence that Blas de Lezo was ever known as half-man or peg-leg. This should be eliminated. The earliest mention of Lezo as half-man or mediohombre appears in "La Historia de Colombia para la Enseñanza Secundaria" published in 1910.
