*** NOTE: I changed the order of the episodes, so this is the correct episode 173. While Spain and Portugal were sailing the southern seas, England took a chance on a different explorer promising to find a northern route to Asia. We know little even today about the voyages of John Cabot (Anglified version) but what we do know offers a tantalizing view of early exploration in the northern Atlantic.
