During the Tudor period, there were many famous explorers.Exploring was for fame,and money,so many people liked it.One of these explorers was John Cabot ,and he discovered something...
EXPLORE!EXPLORE!
Peoplein Tudor times as you know loved exploreing.Everyone explored then.One explorer was John Cabot.It was in 1497 John Cabot set sail on the Matthew with a crew of 18 men.John left from bristol on the 2nd of May hoping to find a new route to India
COLD ICE!!!
John and his crew sailed through rough storms,and they had to go the long way round because the short way was blocked by ice.When John arrived he fpund he was not in India,but somewhere else.John searched around and got a couple of mosquito stings{ouch!}too.After a short search John found signs of life.For instance:fishing nets were in the sea,the sea was rich with cod,and many sticks were painted red and pierced at both ends.
GOODBYE NEWFOUNDLAND!!
John sailed away from Newfoundland after a short stay.The sea was calm on the way back on the Matthew, and on the 6th of August, John arrived back in England.John was rewarded with £10 from the King and the sea rich with cod was found out.Unfourtnately it isn't rich with cod any more.
So if your ever planning on going away on a boat make sure ther's a navigator on board!!
