1. The Atlantic Ocean: Cabot set out from Bristol, England, and crossed the Atlantic Ocean to reach North America. He sailed northwest across the ocean until he reached the North American coast.
2. The North American Mainland: Cabot made landfall on the North American mainland at a location that is believed to be present-day Cape Bonavista in Newfoundland, Canada. He became the first European to set foot on the North American mainland since the Vikings had done so centuries earlier.
3. Cabot Strait: During his voyage, Cabot also discovered the strait that separates the island of Newfoundland from mainland Canada. This body of water is now known as Cabot Strait and serves as a vital shipping route in the region.
4. The Gulf of St. Lawrence: Cabot continued to explore the coastline of North America and entered the Gulf of St. Lawrence. He named this body of water "the Gulf of the Sea," and it became a significant area for European exploration and colonization in the years that followed.
