John Cabot
When Giovanni Caboto set sail from Bristol England on May 2, 1497, he was not expecting to bump into the New Founde Land. Unable to scrounge up enough financial support for the trip in his home town of Venice Italy, Cabot came calling on the court of King Henry VII of England. He fronted the cash for a voyage that was supposed to find a route to the spices and riches of the exotic Far East. While Cabot sailed with dreams of gold and spices, his path was blocked by the vast undiscovered coast line of North America. And while he didn't report back with tales of wonder from the land of the Great Khan, Cabot did convince the King that he at least discovered something worthwhile. He told of waters teeming with life, where a bucket could be cast over the side of a ship and pulled back aboard loaded with fish. At the time the Europeans may have been preoccupied with the eastern land of spices, but they knew a good thing when they heard it. Cabot's stories of the abundant seas marked the beginning of 500 years of fishing activity in the waters off Newfoundland that continues to this day, despite the continuing ecological crisis in the cod stock. But did Cabot really discover Newfoundland, and if he did, where did he anchor his ship, the Matthew? Some people like the idea that the explorer came ashore at Cape Bonavista to claim his discovery for God and King. He could have landed anywhere along the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Chapter 3 - "Early European Explorers" Norwegians though there be very little record of it visited the most northern parts of eastern North America over a thousand years ago. Indeed, maybe before the Norwegians, the Irish paid a visit; or maybe, in classic times, the Greeks. However, what we do know, pretty well for sure, is that the Norsemen first came to Iceland, then as the decades and centuries unfolded they traveled beyond Iceland, to Greenland; and, then again, beyond Greenland to the shores of Baffin Island and Labrador; and then, swinging south, in their frail vessels, down they came along the upper coast of eastern North America. Whatever motivated these northern Europeans to keep extending their northern voyages, and exactly when they might have made them, are further matters on which we are obliged to speculate. Was it for timber? Was it new lands for splintered clans? Whatever the extent of their explorations and the timing of them, it is believed that any settlements of the Norsemen were but of a temporary kind and that they made no great impact or contribution to the exploration of North America. Before we deal with such known explorers as Cabot and Cartier, we must acknowledge the thousands of seafaring men, who, in the process of making a living, came to the shores of America, especially those that are washed by the waters that flow over the great fishing banks of the northwestern Atlantic. Discovery, like everything else in life, is an evolutionary process and one voyage by one family was built upon the knowledge gained on a previous voyage of another family member; only slowly did the Europeans become aware of their courses and their objectives that lie to the east over the ocean.

This CD, issued by SoftKey Multimedia Inc Subjects range from entertaining trivia to fascinating historical information. The "Navigational Instruments" icon in the Columbus story has an adequate discussion of the instruments and methods whereby the early ocean sailors managed journeys on the open seas. Their use of the quadrant, compass, and "dead reckoning" for navigation would amaze travelers of our century who are accustomed to pinpoint radar positioning. For Columbus and his contemporaries, reckoning wrong meant that the phrase "dead reckoning" could (and often did) take on a literal meaning!

The University - Who Was John Cabot?
The University: Learn more about JCU Mission Statement Trustees Who was John Cabot Membership Information Giovanni Caboto or John Cabot, as he was later called when he sailed under the British flag, was a skilled Italian navigator and explorer of the 15th century. Although John Cabot lived in England as an adult, he was a citizen of Venice. He engaged in eastern trade in that city, and it was this experience that became the stimulus for his later explorations. In the 1480s he went to the English port of Bristol and established his base for exploration and discovery. Independently of Christopher Columbus, John Cabot envisioned the possibility of reaching Asia by sailing westward. England, hoping to profit from any trade Cabot might establish with the New World, gave support to his efforts to sail to unknown lands and to return with goods. Under a patent granted by Henry VII in 1496, Cabot sailed from Bristol in 1497 and discovered Newfoundland and Cape Breton Island on the North American coast. His voyages to North America in 1497 and 1498 helped lay the groundwork for Britain’s later claim to Canada. It was during a voyage to the Americas in 1499 that John Cabot was lost at sea.

John Cabot
John Cabot was a merchant that traded spices with other Mediterranean ports. It is believed he became interested in the riches and spices that a more direct route to Asia would afford. He moved to Valencia, Spain to be closer to the action, but once Columbus returned believing he had found the most direct route, Cabot's monarch was not interested in sending him. So John Cabot turned to Henry VII and moved his family to England. Cabot sold Britain's king on a shorter route than Columbus' southern one. Cabot felt that by sailing straight west across the Atlantic Ocean, he could reach the goods faster than Columbus. His plan was to start from a northerly latitude where the longitudes are much closer together and subsequently, the voyage would be much shorter. In 1497, Cabot made his first voyage with one ship and landed on a new world. Where his first landfall was is the source of some inter-provincial debate. On his second voyage he was given 6 ships, one returned after being damaged in a storm. The whereabouts of John Cabot remain a mystery. He nor his 5 ships ever returned to England. He is believed to have killed during or after a shipwreck.

http://collections.ic.gc.ca/cod/cabot.htm
THE VOYAGE. W hen John Cabot set sail 500 years ago, he was searching for a passage to the Far East, with spices and gold on his mind and a commission from his good friend King Henry V11. The Matthew cast off from Bristol on the second day of May in the year 1497, with a crew of 18 seamen, adventurers all. This was a time before trans-oceanic voyages and circumnavigation defined the boundaries of the world. C abot's voyage was a step into the unknown abroad an oak-toughened caravel. A brave , little ship of classic British design. After fifty-three days at sea, the Matthew made land. It was an unexpected far east that was found, the tip of an immense continent. The Far East of the Western World. Cabot's voyage marked the start of the globe-spanning British Empire and made possible, and then inevitable, the European settlement of North America. O n June 24, 1997, 500 years to the day that John Cabot landed in the New World, the Matthew will again make a historic landing in the New Founde Land. Arriving 500 years later at the original port of call , Bonivista, the Matthew will lay anchor in 16 other ports in a summer long-exploration of Newfoundland and Labrador's 16,000 kilometers of rugged and majestic coastline.

Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, the Spanish Monarchs whom funded Columbus' exploration, were the first to realize the potential wealth of the New World. Spain became the richest and most powerful nation in the world. "How long will it last? ........No one knows. More importantly, will other European Countries allow Spain to reign supreme?

Theories and opinions conflict about the 1497 voyage. John Cabot's Voyage of 1497 There is very little precise contemporary information about the 1497 voyage. If Cabot kept a log, or made maps of his journey, they have disappeared. What we have as evidence is scanty: a few maps from the first part of the 16th century which appear to contain information obtained from Cabot, and some letters from non-participants reporting second-hand on what had occurred. As a result, there are many conflicting theories and opinions about what actually happened. 19th century interpretation of John Cabot's discovery of North America.
Over the years, the exact location of John Cabot's 1497 landfall has been a great subject of debate for scholars and historians.

Laying the Foundations: Pre-Columbian Exploration and Colonization of the New World W. Robert Hagen A special edition of Life magazine recently ranked the top one hundred people and events of the past millennia. Christopher Columbus and his faithful voyage were ranked second in both categories. This list of course is arbitrary at best, however there is no disputing the change that took place on a global scale, effecting the economies, politics and the lives of ordinary people throughout the world, as result of his efforts. Although this Genoese sailor is given credit (or blame depending on your viewpoint) for this change, I believe that there is more than enough historical and archeological evidence to support the claim that Christopher Columbus was not the first non-native North American to land in the New World. Furthermore, there is strong evidence that people as diverse as the Phoenicians, the Vikings, the Irish, the Welsh, the Chinese, the Japanese and English fisherman were actually in the New World, in some cases, millennia before 1492. All totaled there are at least nineteen different groups of explorers that may have arrived in the Western Hemisphere prior to Columbus (Boland, xiv). Although some of these visitations are no more than myths, this paper will focus on the archeological evidence that exists to prove the point that Columbus was not the first visitor to the shores of the New World. Further evidence will be given by presenting written accounts of historians ranging from the ancient Greeks to modern times that seems to support this claim and accounts that were written has close to the events themselves.
