The Age Of Discovery - English Exploration

In 1497, John Cabot led an English expedition to North America, inspired by Columbus's voyages. He sailed from Bristol to the North coast of America, aiming to establish trade relations. Cabot discovered an island near Leif Erikson's settlement, claiming it for England and naming it The New Isle, later known as Newfoundland. The region's abundant fish attracted fishermen from England, France, and Portugal.
