Giovanni Caboto (c. 1450 - c. 1498) known in English as John Cabot, was a Venetian navigator and explorer whose 1497 'discovery' of North America is commonly held to be the first European voyage to the continent since Norseman Leif Ericson's landing in c.1003. The Canadian and United Kingdom governments' official position is that he landed on the island of Newfoundland. Reports about Cabot's 1497 voyage are often speculative.
