Who was the wife of the explorer whose first land site in North America was Cape Bonavista Newfoundland?
Sebastian Cabot (explorer) Sebastian Cabot (Italian and Venetian: "Sebastiano Caboto", Spanish: "Sebastián Caboto", "Gaboto" or "Cabot"; c. 1474 – c. December 1557) was an Italian explorer, likely born in the Venetian Republic. He was the son of Italian explorer John Cabot (Giovanni Caboto) and his Venetian wife Mattea.
Vinland Vinland, Vineland or Winland (Old Norse: "Vínland" ) is the area of coastal North America explored by Norse Vikings, where Leif Erikson first landed in c. 1000, approximately five centuries prior to the voyages of Christopher Columbus and John Cabot. "Vinland" was the name given to North America as far as it was explored by the Vikings, presumably including both Newfoundland and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence as far as northeastern New Brunswick (where the eponymous grapevines are found).
