Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tercentenary of Martin Pring´s First Voyage to the Coast of Maine, 1603-1903 How long before the discoveries of Columbus and Cabot the western hemisphere had been visited by adventurers from other parts of the world will ever be a matter of speculation. Traditions of prior discoveries therein have engaged the attention and support of ingenious writers, but they are too vague to stand the test of historical criticism. Such are the alleged discoveries by Phoenicians, perhaps the most daring navigators of antiquity, of Jews, Chinese, Irish, Scandinavians and Welsh. Even the discoveries so generally believed to have been made by the Norsemen in the tenth century, although the sagas which describe them bear internal evidences of truth, cannot be properly regarded as history. The first known discovery of the North American continent was made by John Cabot on June 24,1497. Even Cabot´s landfall and the extent of his discoveries are matters of controversy.
