More about this scene
In 1497 John Cabot, under the patronage of Richard Amerycke, sailed from Bristol in the ship 'Matthew'. On 24 June Cabot discovered mainland America, and the following year his son Sebastian explored the American coast from Newfoundland to Florida. A replica of John Cabot's tiny ship, the 'Matthew', was sailed to Newfoundland in 1999 to commemorate the voyage of the Cabots, and can now be seen at Bristol's Great Western dock.
