He claimed the land for King Henry VII, because he was the one who authorized Cabot's journey and gave him enough money for his ship, the "Matthew" and to hire sailors. He was the first European to get to North America.

His Third Voyage
In his third voyage, 5 ships left, but only one returned to Ireland all damaged and destroyed because of a storm. Cabot disappeared or just died, but no one really knows. They don't know if he died that same year or he went to a near island or somewhere near where they had food and natural resources that would make him last longer. Any of those ways, he should already dead by now.
