John Cabot |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| In 1497 Italian navigator John Cabot sailed from England to North America to find a North West Passage to Asia. Cabot explored the coasts of present-day Labrador and Newfoundland, becoming the first European to sight the land since the Vikings about 500 years earlier. Cabot’s voyage came shortly after Christopher Columbus’s first two voyages to the Caribbean in 1492 and 1493. | ||||||
