John Cabot
*
John Cabot was an Italian-born explorer who, in attempting to find a direct route to Asia, became the first early modern European to discover North America.
Cabot was most likely born in Genoa but might of have been from a Venetian family. In 1490, he moved to England, settling in Bristol. In May 1497, with the support of the English king Henry the seventh, Cabot sailed west from Bristol on the Matthew in the hope of finding a route to Asia. On the 24th of June he sighted land and called it New-found-land. He believed it was Asia and claimed it for England. But it was what is know called Canada.
He returned to England and began to plan a second voyage. In May 1498, he set out on a further voyage with a fleet of four or five ships, aiming to discover Japan. The fate of the expedition is unknown; it is thought that Cabot eventually reached North America but never managed to return across the Atlantic ocean.

here is some info about his Voyagee:First voyage
All that is known about Cabot's first voyage is contained in a letter from John Day (a Bristol merchant) to Christopher Columbus. The letter, written in the winter of 1497, August, mostly concerns the 1497 voyage. However, by way of an aside, Day notes that: "Since your Lordship wants information relating to the first voyage, here is what happened: he went with one ship, his crew confused him, he was short of supplies and ran into bad weather, and he decided to turn back." Since Cabot only received his patent in March 1496, it is generally assumed that this voyage took place in the summer of that year

The answer may never be known for sure. Possibly in Newfoundland, at Bonaventure, possibly on Cape Breton Island, or possibly on the Coast of Labrador. Speaking of Bonaventure, the Flat Earth Society claims that Bonaventure is one of the four corners of the Earth.
