The University - Who Was John Cabot? The University: Learn more about JCU Mission Statement Trustees Who was John Cabot Membership Information Giovanni Caboto or John Cabot, as he was later called when he sailed under the British flag, was a skilled Italian navigator and explorer of the 15th century. Although John Cabot lived in England as an adult, he was a citizen of Venice. He engaged in eastern trade in that city, and it was this experience that became the stimulus for his later explorations. In the 1480s he went to the English port of Bristol and established his base for exploration and discovery. Independently of Christopher Columbus, John Cabot envisioned the possibility of reaching Asia by sailing westward. England, hoping to profit from any trade Cabot might establish with the New World, gave support to his efforts to sail to unknown lands and to return with goods. Under a patent granted by Henry VII in 1496, Cabot sailed from Bristol in 1497 and discovered Newfoundland and Cape Breton Island on the North American coast. His voyages to North America in 1497 and 1498 helped lay the groundwork for Britain’s later claim to Canada. It was during a voyage to the Americas in 1499 that John Cabot was lost at sea.

@import url(../styles/base.css); Was Virginia Destined To Be English? Today, we know the first Europeans to settle permanently in Virginia were English. However, Virginia could have become a non-English colony, filled with settlers who spoke a different language. Columbus was not the first human to discover North America. The very first discoverers arrived 15,000 years (or more) ago, long before Columbus and the Europeans who sailed to Virginia from the east. In addition, Viking sagas and archeologic evidence suggests that Scandinavian explorers settled Greenland and built a village at L'Anse Aux Meadows in modern-day Newfoundland 1,000 years ago. The Scandinavians were attracted not by a desire for gold, religious freedom, or conquest, but by... fish. Yes, fish, especially the Atlantic cod that provided protein for the Scandinavian diet. SOURCE: The Fisheries and Fisheries Industries of the United States http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/historic/nmfs/index.html The value of the protein was obvious to the Vikings, and later to other Europeans. The fastest European response to Columbus' discoveries was not to send people to occupy the new land, but to send fishing boats to the North Atlantic. The European fishing fleets built huts on the coast of Labrador, staying just long enough each fishing season to dry and salt their catch so the fish would not spoil in transit back to Europe. When Europeans expanded their economic and political systems to the New World, inevitably the European conflicts came along with the settlement, technolgy, and other cultural patterns. North America was never "neutral territory," somehow exempt from the disputes in Europe. The fish in particular were valuable enough to fight over.

Procedure Tell the students that after having studied the Spanish explorers Ponce de Leon, de Soto, and Coronado, you would like them to think about the qualities it took to be an explorer. Tell them to keep in mind that the explorers oftentimes traveled long distances to places where they had no idea of what they would find. Have the students brainstorm a list of qualities and write each of them on the chalkboard. You may wish to add some of your own if the students do not mention them, such as: adventurous, courageous/brave, curious, intelligent, greedy. Ask the students to justify the qualities on the list. For example, an explorer would have to be brave because he was traveling to unknown places where they didn't know what they would find. Ask: What country did the explorers Ponce de Leon, de Soto, and Coronado originally come from? (Spain) Have a student locate the country of Spain on the classroom map. Ask: What continent is the country of Spain part of? (Europe) What were the Spanish explorers looking for during their expeditions to North America? (land for Spain, riches, spread European culture)

86. Discovery: The "New World" The new world is a problematic term for many reasons. Henry VII of Englandsent john cabot to explore the coast of new England. In 1500, Pedro Cabral, http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/REFORM/NEWWORLD.HTM

The discovery of the American continent had nothing to do with intellectual curiosity or even unfathomable human courage. It was almost entirely about one and only one thing: money. And it was a mistake. The Portugese all throughout the sixteenth century ruthlessly and aggressively built a monopoly in the spice trade from the east by dominating the trade routes around the continent of Africa. Spain, on the other hand, began thinking of ways to get around this monopoly by developing a western route to the eastern countries. The problem was that this route was infinitely longer than the trip around Africa and it lay across an ocean so vast that it staggered the imagination and chilled the heart. It was Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), a Genoese navigator, who convinced the Spanish to underwrite a western expedition to the eastern countries. Contrary to what you might have heard, educated Europeans knew that the world was round and had known this for millenia. Then as now, people who thought the world was flat were regarded as crackpots. Europeans also had a good idea as to the circumference of the earth; this circumference, in fact, had been accurately calculated in the second century BC. The general view, then, was that a western voyage to India would be a disaster, for the ship would have to travel thousands of miles over open ocean. The ship's crew would starve or die of dehydration long before the journey was complete.

Name Email Address Confirm Email Proper Italian name was Giovanni Caboto Father was a merchant as well Married to Mattea 3 children, boys, Lewis, Sebastian and Sanctus Sebastian became an explorer and cartographer John Cabot John Cabot was a merchant that traded spices with other Mediterranean ports. It is believed he became interested in the riches and spices that a more direct route to Asia would afford. He moved to Valencia, Spain to be closer to the action, but once Columbus returned believing he had found the most direct route, Cabot's monarch was not interested in sending him. So John Cabot turned to Henry VII and moved his family to England. Cabot sold Britain's king on a shorter route than Columbus' southern one. Cabot felt that by sailing straight west across the Atlantic Ocean, he could reach the goods faster than Columbus. His plan was to start from a northerly latitude where the longitudes are much closer together and subsequently, the voyage would be much shorter. In 1497, Cabot made his first voyage with one ship and landed on a new world. Where his first landfall was is the source of some inter-provincial debate. On his second voyage he was given 6 ships, one returned after being damaged in a storm. The whereabouts of John Cabot remain a mystery. He nor his 5 ships ever returned to England. He is believed to have killed during or after a shipwreck.

The Cabot Dilemma: the Limits of Historiography by Derek Croxton I n 1497, John Cabot (Giovanni Cabotto) set off on a voyage to Asia. On his way he, like Christopher Columbus, ran into an island off the coast of North America. As a result, Cabot became the second European to discover North America, thus laying an English claim which would be followed up only after an interval of over one hundred years. With such an interlude, his voyage seems mainly of academic interest. Although it is true that prior discovery was often used as a justification for colonization, the great amount of time between discovery and colonizing reduces Cabots importance to a minimum in this regard. However, this is not at all to say that Cabot was unimportant. In becoming the first European to land on these shores since the time of Leif Erikson, Cabot opened up the Grand Banks to a steady encroachment of European fishermen, thus paving the way for eventual colonization. His voyage marked Englands first foray into the new age of discovery, and served as a foundation for Englands later claims to North America, albeit at some remove. With his importance so established, it is natural that scholars continue to study Cabots heroic travels and try to pinpoint them. Sadly, the vagueness of the evidence makes this effort futile except in a very general way. J ohn Cabot knew the world was much bigger around than Columbus claimed, and that it thus would be impossible to sail straight from Spain to Asia. He had a simple yet ingenious plan, to start from a northerly latitude where the longitudes are much closer together, and where, as a result, the voyage would be much shorter.

In this issue Editor's Reverb- On the ... Shapes of B ILL GILBERT clambers up a steep slope covered in springy heath and turns, gazing down at the tiny Newfoundland harbour that once cradled Sea Forest Plantation. Along the cove below, tiny spruce trees sprinkle the lowlands; rust-red heath and low-bush blueberry carpet the rocky ground. Tidy houses, each painted a fresh white, dot the harbour's edge. The water shimmers like foil. Zipping up his polar fleece against the cold, Gilbert surveys the little harbour where merchants sought their fortunes nearly 400 years ago. "I think the brewhouse was probably down around there somewhere," he says softly, pointing to a small saltwater pond. "And they were building boats, so there would have been some sort of shipyard or boatyard." Founded in 1610, a decade before the Pilgrims celebrated their first Thanksgiving at Plymouth, Sea Forest Plantation, also known as Cupers Cove, was Canada's first official English colony. Financed by the London and Bristol Company, a small coterie of merchants from England's two greatest ports, the fledgling plantation became a small outpost in a wild land, the culmination of more than a century of searching for new fishing grounds to feed a hungry Europe. Long lost to time and memory in the modern village of Cupids, tucked on the northern shore of the Avalon Peninsula, the colony remained for centuries little more than an entry in the history books. Two years ago, however, Gilbert and his crew unearthed the first traces of its ruins: the corner of a 17th-century wooden house complete with a massive stone fireplace.

We do not even know precisely when and where he was born. It is likely, though, that he was born around 1455 in Gaeta, near Naples, and was the son of a merchant. His name is also associated with Genoa, and he may have spent some time there as a boy. But 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.

Click Here to buy BOOKS pertaining to Italian americans OR Here for MUSIC (cds, tapes...) Who was John Cabot? John Cabot was an Italian Cabot was a lifelong friend of Christopher Columbus With a great sense of adventure, John Cabot approached the kings of Spain and Portugal for sponsorship that would enable him to get an expedition together to similarly explore a new route to the orient by sailing west. At that time, spices and silks were carried overland from China by mule and camel, taking an enormously long time to reach Europe. A ship can carry much more cargo and if a route to the east could be found over the ocean, then the finder would become very rich indeed. Unfortunately, Spain and Portugal were not interested in Cabots ideas. In May the following year, Cabot left Bristol on his ship the Matthew and sailed west with the intention of finding China or Japan. He and his companions then set sail south, travelling over nine hundred miles down the east coast of north America before turning east and back to England. Sadly, John Cabot and his fleet did not return from the second expedition. Nothing is known of what happened to him. He may have perished in a storm, or hit an iceberg, or maybe even reached the new continent and died at the hands of Indians, or more likely, the Spanish.

The Basque and the Bretons were among the first people to explore the New World. Transatlantic voyages were make to reach Asia. Geographical Knowledge at the Time of the Cabot Voyages During the late 15th century, Europe was on the verge of geographical expansion. Motives for exploration in the medieval era were diverse. An exchange of navigational knowledge between scholars and mariners. From Willem Janszoon Blaeu, The Light of Navigation (Amsterdam: William Iohnson, 1622) frontispiece. Found in A.W.

Original housed in The Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, D.C., USA. (54 kb) Some believe pressures on the spice trade routes forced Europe to seek other possibilities for importing these goods, others invoke personal initiative as the basic engine of European exploration. Restrictions upon diet and meat consumption by the Catholic Church was also an important factor in finding new fishing grounds and this in itself is held by many as the underlying reason for the exploration of the North Atlantic. No matter what the specific motives were, the principal force for exploration was an economic one. It is hard to determine what Europeans mariners of this era knew of the North Atlantic. We can only guess at specifics by studying contemporary maps. We also don't know if many Europeans had knowledge of Norse explorations and settlements from Greenland to Vinland. Papal knowledge of Greenland seems to have extended to the late 15th century, but the settlements had met with failure and the island-colony had faded away from the European psyche.

By all accounts, Cabot was not English; he was born Giovanni Caboto, probably in Genoa, Italy around 1450. He later moved to Venice and became a naturalized citizen there around 1476, working as a mariner and trader in the eastern Mediterranean. Sometime in the 1490s he ended up in England, where he was given permission from King Henry VII to seek a northern route to Asia across the Atlantic. In 1497 Cabot sailed from Bristol in the Matthew to what is now western Canada. Precisely where he landed is a matter of some controversy, and the possibilities include Newfoundland, Cape Breton Island, Labrador and Nova Scotia. He made a second voyage in 1498, but never returned. Cabot's son, Sebastian, was a famous explorer and cartographer in his own right, and may have accompanied his father on the 1497 voyage.
