John Cabot's Marvelous Journey BY: ADDISON KWITKIN & khloe samuels

Hi! I am John Cabot. I was born in Italy in 1455. I am the greatest explorer of all time! I also founded Newfoundland.
This is my route from Great Britain to Newfoundland (haha funny right). It is now known as present day Canada, as you youngsters call it!๐Ÿคฃ
As you all know, I was born in Gaeta, Italy. Comment down below if you were born or grew up there, too. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡
My journey was sponsored by Great Britian. I claimed land for them, as well.
My motivations for taking this marvelous journey across the unknown sea, was to beat Columbus to the Indies. Also, I wanted to trade and find a route to the Indies before he did.

khenry@1234567: Sorry kid, Columbus beat you to it.๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜‚

I had a lot of hardships along the way of my journey. I had a lot of sea storms while I was on the sea. There were food shortages and I had problems with my crew men. We got frustrated with each other because we were stuck on a small ship with over 15 people. That was not the best situation to be in, if you know what I am saying.

chriscolumbus@1451: Dude, I feel ya! It was not fun with those sea storms!๐Ÿคข

Alongside all the bad stuff, I accomplished a lot of good things. I found a whole sea FULL of cod fish. I also discovered Newfoundland and claimed that area for Great Britain. It is now what you call Canada.

sabastcabot12345: You should be a fisherman, father!!๐Ÿ˜‚

I didn't have many interactions with the Indians. When we came to land my crew and I spotted a campfire. Also, one of my crew men stepped in a snare and it probably hurt really bad! :-/

I feel like my journey was exceptional, but it could've been better. I will always be pleased and proud of what I have accomplished.

My advice for you young men is to never be afraid and always be prepared for the unknown lying right in front of you.

"There is whole world out there waiting to be explored!!!!"
