Matthew, Caravel ship replica at Bristol Harbourside, England
The Matthew features wooden construction with traditional rigging, square sails, and multiple decks that reflect 15th-century shipbuilding techniques.
John Cabot sailed the original Matthew from Bristol to North America in 1497, marking the first European contact with Newfoundland since Norse expeditions.
The reconstruction project started in 1994 involved twelve local craftsmen who applied historical shipbuilding methods while incorporating modern safety requirements.
The Matthew offers harbor tours, private charters, and educational programs about maritime history from its permanent location at Bristol's Floating Harbour.
The vessel participated in the 2012 Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant, sailing 235 kilometers from Bristol to London for the celebration.
