This is the John Cabot memorial in Cape Bonavista, just up the road from the Matthew (boat from previous post). Next to this memorial there is a little plaque dedicated to Cabot.
Had you known this before you went to the site? I am guessing that most Canadians have no idea... I only learned of Canot's Canadian connection myself after highschool: we were not taught this at all.
Yeah, most of family lives in the Bonavista Bay peninsula and my entire family tree goes back to Bonavista. I had been to this site when I was young but had not been there since.
