John Cabot, an Italian explorer, is best known for his transatlantic voyages under the English flag in the late 15th century. After moving to England in the 1490s, he received support from King Henry VII to seek a westward route to Asia. Cabot's most notable expedition in 1497 led him to the coast of North America, likely present-day Newfoundland, though he believed he had reached Asia. His voyages contributed to the European awareness of the North American continent and laid the groundwork for later exploration and colonization.
