Juan Gaetano (Caetano), to whom historians refer as the discoverer of the Hawaiian Islands in 1555, was probably Portuguese, who like many others in those days placed himself at the disposal of Spain when no chance of navigation was offered them in their own country, Portugal.
Examples of these were found with many discoverers, namely, Fernão de Magalhães (Ferdinand Magellan), and João Rodrigues Cabrilho.
Gaetano, as pilot of a galleon commanded by a captain cruising under the flag of Spain, is believed to have chartered on maps the Hawaiian Islands.
