It was a rainy, wet and cold day on June 24, 1997, when The Matthew sailed into the welcoming town of Bonavista to crowds of cold spectators. I was among them and, luckily, qualified for a press pass that allowed me to get into a few of the celebrations. It was a historical event that celebrated 500 years since John Cabot's discovery of the island of Newfoundland. The Matthew was a replica of the ship that Cabot sailed across the ocean in the spring of 1497 and it took nearly 3 months to make the journey.
