 The Voyage of the Matthew: John Cabot & the Discovery of North America by Peter FirstbrookIn 1497, the first Europeans set foot on the North American mainland and claimed it for the English crown. Led by John Cabot, a small band of hardy sailors had braved the stormy, uncharted seas of the North Atlantic in a single, three-masted sailing ship. On the 500th anniversary of his discovery, another crew of intrepid sailors set out to make the same journey, in a replica of Cabot's ship. The Voyage of the Matthew is a mix of 15th century natural science and the best contemporary technology with spies, political intrigue, and the intense competition of early exploration. Paperback 192 pages - 7 1/2" x 9 3/4" - (8/97)
