Nuno Tristão -

The first European to visit the island was the Portuguese explorer Nuno Tristão in 1443.

Nuno Tristão was a 15th century Portuguese explorer and slave trader, active in the early 1440s, traditionally thought to be the first European to reach the region of Guinea ( legendarily, as far as Guinea-Bissau, but more recent historians believe he did not go beyond the Gambia River ).

In 1443, Nuno Tristão was sent out by Henry again, and pressed beyond Cape Blanc to reach the Bay of Arguin.

As fishing settlements around the Arguin banks were quickly devastated by the Portuguese slave raiders, in 1445 ( or possibly 1444 ), Nuno Tristão was sent by Henry to press further south and look for new slave-raiding grounds.

Nuno Tristão arrived in Portugal declaring he had finally discovered sub-Saharan Africa, or in the nomenclature of the time, the " Land of the Blacks " ( Terra dos Guineus, or simply Guinea ).
