Álvaro de Saavedra Cerón

There are some questions as to whether Spanish explorers did arrive in the Hawaiian Islands two centuries before Captain James Cook's first recorded visit in 1778.

There they received some food and water from the natives and they sailed again northeast where they discovered the Marshall Islands and Admiralty Islands.

After that, they arrived in the island of Eniwetok, where they continued the journey northeast and were surprised again by northeast trade winds, which led them to the Moluccas for the third time.
