Expeditions

John Cabot had two official expeditions to North America. He sailed in 1497, and his successful voyage resulted in a pension of  £20 from King Henry VII. His last voyage was in 1498 where he was believed to have been lost at sea with his ships. He did not return home and was presumed dead circa 1500, but recent studies have suggested that Cabot's crew survived.
