What year did John Cabot draw the first map of Canada's East Coast?

1492
1497
1501
1524

The correct answer is: 1497

John Cabot actually made two voyages to Canada's East Coast, one in 1497 and one in 1498. However, it is widely believed that his first voyage in 1497 resulted in the creation of the first map of Canada's East Coast, making 1497 the most accurate answer choice. Option A is incorrect because it refers to Columbus' voyage to the Americas, which occurred in the same year but did not result in the mapping of Canada's East Coast. Option C is incorrect because it refers to Giovanni da Verrazzano's voyage, which occurred after Cabot's and also did not result in the mapping of Canada's East Coast. Option D is incorrect because it refers to Jacques Cartier's voyage, which also occurred after Cabot's and focused on mapping the Gulf of St. Lawrence, not Canada's East Coast.
