The ship is a replica of John Cabot's ship, the Matthew, that crossed the Atlantic in 1497.
Arriving on the 23rd June 1497 at Cape Bonavista in what is now Newfoundland, Canada.
The original was named after his wife Mattea. This replica was built in Bristol Docks. It crossed the Atlantic in 1997 to join in the 500th anniversary celebration of the 1497 crossing and what was also the celebration of the 'founding of Newfoundland', Canada's oldest province.

The Matthew tow in Bristol Harbour
On the 2nd of May 1997, The Matthew began her intrepid voyage in the wake of John Cabot some 500 years earlier. This faithful representation of the Tudor caravel was constructed between 1994 and 1996 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of John Cabot’s historic trip across the Atlantic from Bristol to Newfoundland.
To mark the event Gig rowing clubs from across Bristol towed The Matthew through Bristol’s Floating Harbour. This is the traditional method that large sailing ships would have used to get out of the harbour to open sea, where the sails could be used. This is how she would have started her voyage in 1497 and ended it back in Bristol in 1498.

SS Great Britain and Matthew of Bristol
Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel (Right), the ship SS Great Britain was built in 1843 at the Great Western Dockyard in Bristol, under the supervision of Brunel and his colleagues at the Great Western Steamship Company & Thomas Guppy, Christopher Claxton and William Patterson.
SS Great Britain was the first ocean-going ship to have an iron hull and a screw propeller and, when launched in 1843, was the largest vessel afloat. She originally carried 120 first-class passengers (26 of whom were in single cabins), 132 second-class passengers and 130 officers and crew but, when an extra deck was added, it increased the number of passengers to 730.
It is now an award-winning visitor attraction and museum in Bristol Harbour.
This is a full-scale replica of the ship on which John Cabot sailed to America in 1497. She was built in Bristol to celebrate the 500th anniversary of his discovery of Newfoundland

M shed Museum, Bristol, England from Travel with Iva Jasperson
Hello everyone...
M Shed is a museum in Bristol, England, located on Prince's Wharf beside the Floating Harbour in a dockside transit shed formerly occupied by Bristol Industrial Museum. The museum's name is derived from the way that the port identified each of its sheds. M Shed is home to displays of 3,000 Bristol artifacts and stories, showing Bristol's role in the slave trade and items on transport, people, and the arts. Admission is free.
The museum opened in June 2011, with exhibits exploring life and work in the city. In its first year, 700,000 people visited the new museum.
Normally moored in front of the museum is a collection of historic vessels, which include a 1934 fireboat (the Fire-float Pyronaut), and two tugboats ( Mayflower, the world's oldest surviving steam tug and John King, a 1935 diesel tug)
The museum contains a shop, learning space and cafe.
