Famous 15th-century English explorers included John Cabot, who is credited with the discovery of North America in 1497 under the commission of King Henry VII. Although his exact landing site is unclear, he is often associated with the coast of Newfoundland. Another notable figure is Sir Martin Waldseemüller, who, although more of a cartographer, contributed to the mapping of the New World during this period. These early explorers laid the groundwork for later English exploration and colonization.
