John Cabot lived from 1450 til 1499, Kublai Khan lived from 1215 til 1295, so it's unlikely that they ever met. Cabot's voyages were to the newly discovered Americas, He almost certainly never went to China.
There is no information available about a person named Mattea Cabot being married to John Cabot. It is possible that these individuals are not public figures or their marriage is not widely known.
John Cabot is best known for his voyages to North America in the late 15th century. He was the first European since the Norse Vikings to explore and claim land in North America. Cabot's discoveries laid the groundwork for English colonization and subsequent settlement in the New World.
John Smith originally traveled to the New World with his crew to find gold. However, after searching and communicating with the local natives, he discovered that there was not any there.
Whether or not John Cabot actually sailed as far as Nova Scotia is something we will never know for sure. Cabot sailed west from England in 1497 to demonstrate that there was a direct route across the Atlantic Ocean to China. The existence of North America and South America was unknown to Europeans at the time. Like Columbus, whose first voyage across the Atlantic had occurred in 1492, Cabot also believed that he had reached Asia. Records do not indicate with any degree of accuracy where it was that Cabot actually landed. It is speculated that it was either some part of the coast of Labrador, Bonaventure (in Newfoundland), or Cape Breton Island. Cabot did indicate that he was aware Newfoundland was an island. In 1498, Cabot embarked upon a second voyage with a fleet of five ships, but never returned, and is generally presumed to have perished at sea.
The king of England sponsored Giovanni Caboto to sail to New France (Canada) and look for gold and riches. In this expedition Giovanni Caboto had a ship named "The Matthew".
John Cabot probably landed on southern Labrador or Cape Breton Island on his search for a northern route to Asia. He claimed the land for Henry VII. He may have landed on North America on a later voyage, but most records indicate that he was lost at sea on his return voyage.
To find a shorter passage to Asia
he wanted to reach china but he landed on the coast of Canada
Scurvy, moldy food, and horrible storms
First off, Dutch is a Language. The people of the Netherlands speak Dutch. And no, he was born in Genoa, Italy, but sailed for the English.
Neither the place nor the date of birth of Giovanni (or Zuan) Caboto, commonly called John Cabot, is known, however, documents in the Venetian archives indicate he was the son of Giulio Caboto. There appear to be no records relating to his mother.
he thought it was Asia and he bragged about it when he got back to England. He was from Italy but sailed for England.
because he loved to explore and he was just sailing and then suddenly he just found land and thats why he discovered North America.
