Bristols rich maritime heritage is evident from the popular Harbourside area and the splendid Georgian architecture of the houses, many of which originally belonged to wealthy merchants. The city used to act as a vital port for trading with countries such as Spain, Portugal and Iceland, as well as being the starting point for voyages to the New World. The most famous of these voyages was John Cabot’s journey from Bristol in 1497, when he set sail on the Matthew in search of a passage to the spice islands and ended up discovering Newfoundland instead! |
