As a child, he dreamed of captaining a ship across a mysterious, uncharted ocean, from Europe to the riches of China. There was another boy in Genoa at the same time, with the same dream: Christopher Columbus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Turks, in the fifteenth century, had a stranglehold on the trade routes to the Far East. Europe's race to find an alternative passage was heating up. But an explorer needed patrons, funds, ships--and a vision. Whereas Columbus had taken a south and west route from Spain, Cabot was convinced a more northern route from England would lead directly to China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCabot remained convinced, even on his deathbed, that he'd reached China--not realizing he'd claimed much of North America for his patron, the King of England, and made an amazing contribution to the fabric of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44113222893703,"sku":"9781947431164","price":18.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/cs85lQbF8j9781947431164.webp?v=1772981383","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/dreams-of-discovery-a-novel-based-on-the-life-of-the-explorer-john-cabot-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
