John Cabot by Chris I am writing about an Italian explorer named John Cabot. John was born in 1450 in Genoa, Italy. Little is known about him as a boy. We do know he wanted to be a sailor when he was young. In 1497, he sailed for the first time for the king of England. He sailed to North America and landed in Cape Brenton. He also sailed the second time to the New Foundland. We should remember him because he discovered New Foundland. Also he sailed for England to North America. Giovanni Da Verrazano

Extractions: Bristol Mariners seem to have visited Canada in the 1480s, and Christopher Columbus may have learned of, and been inspired by, their voyages. In 1492, William Ayers, an Irishman undoubtedly familiar with English activities, sailed with Columbus on the Santa Maria. In 1497 and 1498 John Cabot, like Columbus a Genoese expatriate, explored eastern Canada under the English flag. By 1502 Englishmen were trading in Newfoundland and parts south, and organizing syndicates, some involving Azorean Portuguese, to exploit the fisheries there. England did not miss the entire European rediscovery of the Western Hemisphere, but did retire early. While England slept, Spain became dominant in the New World and on the high seas. In 1493, during his second voyage, Columbus founded Isabela, the first permanent Spanish settlement in the New World, on Hispaniola. After finding gold in recoverable quantities nearby, the Spanish quickly overran the island and spread to Puerto Rico in 1508, to Jamaica in 1509, and to Cuba in 1511. The natives fared badly. Many died in one-sided armed conflict with soldiers and settlers, or in forced servitude in mines and on plantations. Others died of diseases to which they had no immunity. By mid-century, the native Ciboney of Hispaniola and western Cuba were extinct, and other tribes, including the Arawak of Puerto Rico, were nearly so. Beginning in 1508, Spanish settlements sprang up on the mainland of Central and South America. In 1519, just six years after Balboa had crossed the Isthmus of Panama and claimed the entire Pacific Ocean for Spain, Pedro Arias de Avila, Balboa's father-in-law and executioner, founded the city of Panama on the

Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History The first attempt by Europeans to colonize the New World occurred around a.d. 1000, when the Vikings sailed from the British Isles to Greenland, established a colony, and then moved on to Labrador, the Baffin Islands, and finally Newfoundland. There they established a colony named Vineland (meaning fertile region) and from that base sailed along the coast of North America, observing the flora, fauna, and native peoples. Inexplicably, after a few years Vineland was abandoned. Although the Vikings never returned to America, their accomplishments became known to other Europeans. Europe, however, was made up of many small principalities whose concerns were mainly local. Europeans may have been intrigued by the stories of the feared Vikings' discovery of a "new world," but they lacked the resources or the will to follow their path of exploration. Trade continued to revolve around the Mediterranean Sea, as it had for hundreds of years. But between 1000 and 1650 a series of interconnected developments occurred in Europe that provided the impetus for the exploration and subsequent colonization of America. These developments included the Protestant Reformation and the subsequent Catholic Counter-Reformation, the Renaissance, the unification of small states into larger ones with centralized political power, the emergence of new technology in navigation and shipbuilding, and the establishment of overland trade with the East and the accompanying transformation of the medieval economy.

They may not even realize that he wasn't even the first of those adventurers to set foot in the New World. Historians believe Leif Erikson, an Icelander, was the first European to arrive in North America, landing in what is now Canada in 1001. Then why is Columbus so widely-known and celebrated and Erikson so often ignored or forgotten? Pose the question before you begin exploring "Explorer" Web sites.

John Cabot john cabot The Discovery Of newfoundland By Bernard D. Fardy captured theimagination of an Old world on the verge of a new age of discovery. http://www.wordplay.com/gullages/cabot.html
Extractions: When Giovanni Caboto set sail from Bristol England on May 2, 1497, he was not expecting to bump into the New Founde Land. Unable to scrounge up enough financial support for the trip in his home town of Venice Italy, Cabot came calling on the court of King Henry VII of England. He fronted the cash for a voyage that was supposed to find a route to the spices and riches of the exotic Far East. While Cabot sailed with dreams of gold and spices, his path was blocked by the vast undiscovered coast line of North America. And while he didn't report back with tales of wonder from the land of the Great Khan, Cabot did convince the King that he at least discovered something worthwhile. He told of waters teeming with life, where a bucket could be cast over the side of a ship and pulled back aboard loaded with fish. At the time the Europeans may have been preoccupied with the eastern land of spices, but they knew a good thing when they heard it. Cabot's stories of the abundant seas marked the beginning of 500 years of fishing activity in the waters off Newfoundland that continues to this day, despite the continuing ecological crisis in the cod stock. But did Cabot really discover Newfoundland, and if he did, where did he anchor his ship, the Matthew? Some people like the idea that the explorer came ashore at Cape Bonavista to claim his discovery for God and King. He could have landed anywhere along the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Extractions: Post WWII Royal patronage of John Cabot 1496 The later fifteenth century was an age of maritime discovery. In 1488, the Portuguese Bartholemew Diaz had rounded the Cape of Good Hope (southern Africa); and in 1492, Christopher Columbus, in the service of the King of Spain, had discovered the Caribbean islands of the New World. Not wishing to miss out on any new land (and wealth), Henry VII supported John Cabot in a bid to sail across the Atlantic. Although driven back by poor weather in 1496, Cabot (with his son Sebastian) sailed from Bristol to Cape Breton, Newfoundland, in 1497. In 1498, John Cabot and his fleet of five ships set out on a further voyage but were never heard of again. The following year, Sebastian Cabot, led a search expedition and extensively explored the North American coast from Labrador to the Grand Banks off Carolina.

Extractions: FAQs History of Province The sagas or oral stories of the Norse tell of Bjarni Herjulfsson, a Viking who was blown off course while traveling between Iceland and Greenland in 986. His reports of a wooded coastline were an irresistible lure to the timber-poor Norse. Leif Erikson, also called "Leif the Lucky," following Bjarni's route, became the first Viking to land in "Vinland." Here he built sod houses and established the only known Norse settlement in the New World around the year 1000. The sagas describe how Leif the Lucky and later Norse settlers traded and sometimes fought with people they called "skraelings." The sagas say at least one child, Snorri Karlsefni, was born in Vinland before the settlement was abandoned. Although there are no other records of settlement, it is known that the Greenland Norse continued to visit Vinland occasionally as late as 1347. A century later, European fishermen were travelling to Iceland and other sites with Norse inhabitants. Norse settlements in Europe were another point of frequent contact. Some historians believe the continued connection between the Norse and other Europeans helped inspire the voyages of Columbus and Cabot. Historians argued about the location of Vinland for decades. In 1960, the Norwegian archaeologists Helge and Anne Stine Ingstad were led to a possible site near the northern tip of Newfoundland by local fisherman George Decker. Here they found artifacts that proved this site at L'Anse aux Meadows once held a small Norse settlement, thus suggesting that Newfoundland was probably Vinland. L'Anse aux Meadows was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978. A recreation of the Norse sod houses and an interpretation centre tell the story of these traders, merchants, and adventurers who braved the North Atlantic in their small open boats ten centuries ago. In the year 2000, Newfoundland celebrated the passing of a millennium since these first Europeans arrived on our shores.
