It is likely that Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot), son of a merchant, was born around 1455 in Genoa where he spent some time as a boy. By 1461, Cabot was living in Venice, where he became a citizen. In about 1482, he married a Venetian woman, Mattea, and they had three sons: Ludovico, Sebastiano and Sancio. Then around 1490, Cabot and his family moved to Valencia in Spain. Neither Portugal nor Spain was interested in John Cabot. As a result, Cabot turned in 1494 or 1495 to England - to the merchants of the port of Bristol where he settled with his family, and to the king, Henry VII. In England, Cabot received the backing he had been refused in Spain and Portugal. In 1497, Cabot sailed from Bristol. He discovered Cape Breton Island (Newfoundland), traveled through part of Nova Scotia and southward along the American continent. Whatever Cabot did was in the name of the English Crown.

Leaving Bristol (England), the expedition sailed past Ireland and across the Atlantic making landfall somewhere on the coast of North America on June 24, 1497. The exact location of the landfall has long been a matter of great controversy, with different communities vying for the status of being the location of the landing. At various times historians have proposedBonavista, St. John's in Newfoundland, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Labrador, and Maine as possibilities. Cape Bonavista in Newfoundland, however, is the location recognised by the governments of Canada and the United Kingdom as being Cabot's "official" landing place. Cabot is only reported to have landed once during the expedition and did not advance "beyond the shooting distance of a crossbow".
