John Cabot is credited with the discovery of Newfoundland in 1497 during his voyage under the English flag. While he was searching for a westward route to Asia, he instead landed on the northeastern coast of what is now Canada. This discovery is significant as it marked one of the first European explorations of North America since the Vikings.
