the reason why he explored and went on voyages is because he wanted to prove that there was a quicker way to the Indies than Christopher Columbus's route.

In 1497, he made his first voyage for the king of England. His ship was called the "The Mathew."
-
He had a second voyage and on the way back his ship sunk and they think that happened in 1499. England claimed ownership of the North America because of John Cabot.
