I learned that John Cabot claimed the Atlantic coast of North America to England in 1497.
I researched more about him and found that he made two trips to the New World. The first time he had to convince King Henry the seventh. After recieving permission, he departed on the Matthew. No one knows the precise location where he landed but it was in that first voyage where Cabot claimed the land to England.
