During the great Tudor times lots of brave people were exploring the world . John Cabot was one of these brave and fabulous explorers. John Cabot set sail on May the 2nd ,1497 and found the big Canada .
On the 2nd May 1497 , Cabot set sail on a boat called the Matthew . John Cabot only left with 18 men . Firstly Cabot was heading to India but accidentally discovered Canada .
a little while after John Cabot was ashore he found some signs of life like some fishing nets, snares and a stick painted red and with holes at both ends . John didn't stay long because there were masses of mosquitoes and lack of supplies .
Cabot left ashore on the 20th July .John found that around Newfoundland it was rich in cod
Finally Cabot got back to Bristol on the 6th August .Cabot did not bring spices,silk nothing.Henry VII gave him £10 this is a lot of money in them days
On Cabot's next voyage he took 200 men and five ships but no one knows if he went anywhere or if he reached anywhere . will we ever find out?...............................................
