In early 1498 Cabot received permission for a second expedition to North America, which likely consisted of five ships and hundreds of men. After setting out in 1498, one ship was damaged (possibly by a severe storm) and sought anchorage in Ireland. The fates of the others, including the one carrying Cabot, remain unknown.
