Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth account of John Cabot's exploration voyages, using evidence from letters and nautical maps. It delves into the broader context of Norse settlements in Greenland during the Medieval period and the scientific knowledge available to navigators like Cabot. By presenting a meticulous analysis of the routes taken, the book reconstructs the possible landfall locations, challenging the established consensus of Cape Breton and presenting evidence for Labrador as a more probable destination. The author ultimately argues that Cabot's voyages, made possible by the confluence of favorable winds and sea currents, were not merely lucky discoveries but the result of meticulous planning and a deep understanding of nautical science. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282003302_0
