The Matthew was the ship on which explorer John Cabot sailed to the New World in 1497. Although a little later than Christopher Columbus' initial voyage, it is widely debated among the scholars that John Cabot landed on mainland North America ahead of Columbus. In fact a full 14 months earlier. In 1997 a replica, believed to be representative of the type of ship that John Cabot sailed, again made the voyage from Bristol England, to Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland to celebrate the 500th anniversary of his landing. Another replica had been built and remains in Bonavista where people can visit her to this day. It is mainly on the information acquired from this replica that these modeling plans of the Matthew is based. SCALE SHEET OF W. SCOVILLE 1/8 = 1-0 OUTBOARD PROFILE MAT-2009-001 1
