New research is beginning to show that John Cabot's voyage of 1498 was not lost at sea as previously thought. Evidence has been found that shows that the expedition had made it back to England by 1500 So the death of Cabot shown in many books as 1499 will now have to be revised. As the cause and actual date of Cabots death is not yet fully known, no doubt further research will discover something about this enigma of an explorer.
