Squirrel,
Good post on the face of it, but discovery in 1600?
Before that date there were previous 'discoveries' of the islands. These were variously discovered by Magellan (Portugese), Vespucci (Florence), or Piri Reis (Turkish). Davis (English) discovered and named them again in 1592, and Hawkins did the same in 1594. Certainly by 1600, they had been discovered.
