Cabot's Voyages: A Lecture Delivered in St. Patrick's Hall for the Athenæum, St. John's, Newfoundland (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book provides an in-depth account of John Cabot's exploration voyages, using evidence from letters and nautical maps. It delves into the broader context of Norse settlements in Greenland during the Medieval period and the scientific knowledge available to navigators like Cabot. By presenting a meticulous analysis of the routes taken, the book reconstructs the possible landfall locations, challenging the established consensus of Cape Breton and presenting evidence for Labrador as a more probable destination. The author ultimately argues that Cabot's voyages, made possible by the confluence of favorable winds and sea currents, were not merely lucky discoveries but the result of meticulous planning and a deep understanding of nautical science.
