Italian sea captain, Giovanni Caboto, and a crew of English sailors had just returned from a 79-day Atlantic voyage. Caboto, called John Cabot by the English, cut a swaggering figure on the streets of London. He dressed himself in fine silks and made such a stir that ordinary Londoners ‘ran after him like madmen,” reported one observer. Cabot appeared before King Henry to announce that he had reached a “new-found island’ in Asia where fish were plentiful. Cabot was one of many Europeans who explored North America between the 1400s and 1600s. England, France, and the Netherlands all envied Spain’s new empire. They wanted American colonies of their own.
