The Cabots, Verrazani, Hudson, Gosnold. (c) Gulf Coast. De Soto, Cortez, Ponce de Leon, De Ayllon, Narvaez. 2. John Cabot, an Italian by birth, living in England at the time of the discovery of Columbus, was commissioned by King Henry VII of England to seek a northern route for the spice trade. In May, 1497, Cabot sailed from Bristol with his son Sebastian, and a number of persons, and discovered the continent of America, probably on the coast of Labrador, June 24th. Believing he had discovered Asia, he landed and erected a large cross bearing aloft the flag of England. He claimed the entire country in behalf of the king of England. A year later, April, 1498, he returned and explored the coast as far south as North Carolina. Sebastian continued his father´s discoveries, cruising from Newfoundland to Chesapeake Bay. Like all his predecessors, he failed to find the route to Asia, but his achievements gave to England a title to a vast portion of the New World.
