Voyages of Sebastian Cabot and the Northern Claim
In 1498 Sebastian Cabot sailed from Bristol with two ships to seek a northwest passage to China and Japan. He reached Newfoundland after altered courses and a later return to England followed by pension. The study of Cabot’s voyages is linked to Britain’s early northern continental claims and a London Americans meeting formed a committee to celebrate the milestone.
