SEBASTIAN CABOT PINBACK BUTTON



Sebastian Cabot (Venetian: Sebastiano Caboto, Spanish: Sebastian Cabot; c. 1474 - c. 1557) was an explorer, born in the Venetian Republic.---Sebastiano Caboto was born to Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot), also an explorer variously credited with Genoese or Gaetan origins, and Mattea. He told Englishman Richard Eden that he was born in Bristol and carried to Venice at four years of age; however, he also told Gasparo Contarini, the Venetian ambassador at the court of Charles V that he was Venetian, educated in England. Contarini noted it in his diary. He may have sailed with his father in the service of England, in May 1497. John Cabot, sailing from Bristol, took the small ship Matthew along the coasts of a "New Found Land". There is much controversy over where exactly Cabot landed, but two likely locations that are often suggested are Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Cabot and his crew mistook this place for China, without finding the passage to the east they were looking for. Some scholars maintain that the name America comes from Richard Ameryk, a Bristol merchant and customs officer, who is claimed on very slender evidence to have helped finance the Cabot voyages.
