The English sent their first explorer, John Cabot, on a voyage of discovery across the Atlantic Ocean in 1497, just five years after Columbus's 1492 voyage. Cabot's expedition marked England's entry into the era of transatlantic exploration.
The first explorer to sail across the Atlantic for England was John Cabot, an Italian navigator and explorer. In 1497, he embarked on his voyage under the commission of King Henry VII of England, reaching the coast of North America, likely present-day Newfoundland. Cabot's expedition marked England's first exploration of the New World and laid the groundwork for future English claims in North America.
John Fairfax was the first person to row across the Atlantic in 1969.
J. Erroll Boyd became the first Canadian to fly across the Atlantic in the 1930s
Charles Lindbergh made the first solo flight across the Atlantic.
