This address, delivered by Samuel Eliot Morison, revisits the significant yet underexplored contributions of John Cabot, an Italian navigator, to England's maritime history. Morison underscores the pivotal role Cabot played in challenging the Iberian monopoly over the New World in 1497, marking him as a foundational figure in England's colonial ambitions in North America. Despite the scarcity of direct historical evidence about Cabot's life and voyages, Morison highlights the determination and skill that led Cabot to the North American coast, predating other notable explorations. Morison also touches on the challenges and mysteries surrounding Cabot's subsequent voyage in 1498, offering hypotheses on its fate based on navigational and historical context. This recounting not only celebrates Cabot's contributions but also situates them within the broader narrative of England's emergence as a formidable maritime power, setting the stage for the expansive English Empire in America.
