The Italian explorer [John Cabot](https://www.worldhistory.org/John_Cabot/) (aka Giovanni Caboto, c. 1450 - c. 1498 CE) sailed from [England](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/england/) to eastern Canada in 1497 CE. His exact route and points of exploration are unclear and the map is therefore only an approximate guide.
