1).  "Columbus made a fourth voyage nominally in search of the Strait of Malacca to the Indian Ocean. Accompanied by his brother Bartolomeo and his 13-year-old son FERNANDO, he left Cádiz, Spain on May 11, 1502, with the ships Capitana, Gallega, Vizcaína and Santiago de Palos. "\n\n2).  "Ferdinand Columbus (Italian: Fernando Colombo, Spanish: Fernando Colón, Córdoba, Spain, 15 August? 1488 - Sevilla, Spain, 1539) was the second son of Christopher Columbus. His mother was Beatriz Enriquez de Harana, whom his father never married, but who was Columbus' constant companion in later life.\n\nFernando was born in Cordoba, and spent his early years there with his mother. After Columbus's triumphant return from his first voyage, Fernando was appointed a page to the Spanish crown prince Don Juan, but transferred to the service of Queen Isabella following the young prince's untimely death.\n\nBetween the ages of 13 and 15, Fernando was a crewmember on Columbus' fourth voyage to the New World. After his father's death, Fernando accompanied his older brother Diego to the New World in 1509 upon Diego's appointment as governor of Hispaniola. But Fernando preferred a more settled life, and returned to Spain a few months later."\n\nHope that's enough (  :

Here´s a little history of his voyages:\n\nThe two disputed letters claim that Vespucci made four voyages to America, while at most three can be verified from other sources. It is now generally accepted by historians that no voyage was made in 1497 (which allegedly began from Cádiz on May 10th of that year).\n\n \nStatue at the Uffizi, FlorenceIn 1499–1500, Vespucci joined an expedition led by Alonso de Ojeda. After hitting land at the coast of what is now Guyana, the two seem to have separated. Vespucci sailed southward, discovering the mouth of the Amazon River and reaching 6°S, before turning around and seeing Trinidad and the Orinoco River and returning to Spain by way of Hispaniola. Vespucci claimed, in a letter to Lorenzo di Medici, that he determined his longitude celestially on August 23, 1499, while on this voyage. But his claim is clearly fraudulent, which casts more doubt on Vespucci's credibility.\n\nHis next voyage in 1501–1502 was in service of Portugal, when he reached the bay of what is now Rio de Janeiro. The leader of this expedition was Gonçalo Coelho. On this voyage he sailed southward along the coast of South America. If his own account is to be believed, he reached the latitude of Patagonia before turning back; although this also seems doubtful, since his account does not mention the broad estuary of the Río de la Plata, which he must have seen if he had gotten that far south. During the first half of this expedition in 1501, Vespucci mapped the two stars, Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri as well as the stars of the constellation Crux. Although these stars were known to the ancient Greeks, gradual precession had lowered them below the European skyline so that they were forgotten.\n\nLittle is known of his last voyage in 1503–1504. It is not even known whether it actually took place. Amerigo Vespucci died in Seville, Spain, in 1512.
