What were John Cabot's accomplishments and failures?

Voyage of the Matthew

During this time period, many sailors and navigators believed that there was a water route called the Northwest Passage that ran from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean along the border of the modern U.S. and Canada. Navigators anticipated that the Northwest Passage would allow ships to travel more quickly and safely to Asia for trading.

Cabot and his son landed on June 24, 1497 in either Labrador, Newfoundland, or on Cape Breton Island and claimed the land for England. From there, Cabot explored the Canadian coastline and gave names to many of the islands and capes he found. Cabot didn't find the water passage he was seeking and eventually had to return to England for supplies.

Some sources indicate that Cabot was not aware of the true extent of his journey and believed that he had found both the Northwest Passage and that the land he had claimed was part of Asia. The lack of accurate geographic knowledge made it very difficult for early explorers, like John Cabot, to understand where they had actually landed.

Second Voyage

In 1498, Cabot attempted another voyage to the New World, this time with four ships. Until recently, many historians believed that only one of Cabot's four ships had successfully returned; however, new evidence suggests that Cabot and most of his men returned to England in 1500.

How many movies did john Wayne and Bruce Cabot star in?

Looking over the filmography of Bruce Cabot I recognized at least 10 movies that starred John Wayne and featured Bruce Cabot. Most of them I was aware of but I did not know or at least recall that he was in Angel and the Badman. He was easily recognized from his voice in Chisum, The War Wagon, and The Green Barets, he was a little harder to spot as Sam Sharpnose in Big Jake.
