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.
