Cabot, John
English explorer, probably b. Genoa, Italy. He became a citizen of Venice in 1476 and engaged in the Eastern trade of that city. This experience, it is assumed, was the stimulus of his later explorations. Like Columbus (though there is no evidence that either influenced the other), he apparently believed that the riches of East Asia might be more easily reached by sailing west. [eng]

The explorers: John Cabot and his son Sebastian
Henry VII agreed with Cabot on the assumption that he would profit greatly from any precious goods brought back from the Orient. He provided the Italian with a small ship, called ‘The Mathew’, and an eighteen-man crew (An exact replica of the ship can be seen in Bristol today). [eng]
