The John Day Letter - John Day was an English merchant in the Spanish trade. He wrote this letter in Spain between December 1497 and January 1498 to the "Lord Grand Admiral", probably Christopher Columbus. Discovered in 1956 in the Archivo General de Simancas, the letter contains information which adds significantly to the stock of knowledge concerning the Cabot voyages.
Below are some pictures of the Matthew sent to us from Mr. Lee Tremblett of Bonavista, Newfoundland. Mr. Tremblett's boat "High Hopes" is berthed across from the Matthew.
