On October 12, 1497, Italian explorer John Cabot, sailing under an English flag, became one of the first Europeans to reach the North American mainland, likely landing on the coast of present-day Newfoundland. This expedition marked a significant moment in the Age of Exploration, as it opened the door for further exploration and eventual colonization of North America by European powers. Cabot's voyage was instrumental in establishing the English claim to territories in the New World.
