In 1947 the explorer John Cabot set sail from Bristol to Newfoundland in his ship, The Matthew to try and establish a new trade route to the Spice Islands of the east. More than five centuries later, a replica of John Cabot’s caravel was built at Redcliffe Wharf and sailed to Newfoundland in 1997 for the 500th anniversary of Cabot’s trip. Come and see the video.
All welcome, £3 members and £4 for visitors. Talks last about an hour and are followed by light refreshments. For further details email Richard Stead - ricardostead@icloud.com or Valerie Johnson - valj475@gmail.com.
