To commemorate the 500th anniversary of John Cabot's 1497 voyage, a full-size replica of the Matthew was reconstructed at Bristol by the naval architect Colin Mudie and the boat-building company Storms'l Services ...

This book is the personal log of the voyage from Bristol to Boianventure from one of the crew (a native Newfoundlander) with his inscription on the title page.
