Some of the ships were said to be carrying merchandise, including cloth, caps, lace points and other "trifles".
The Spanish envoy in London reported in July that one of the ships had been caught in a storm and been forced to land in Ireland, but that Cabot and the other four ships had continued on.

The historian Alwyn Ruddock worked on Cabot and his era for 35 years. She suggested that Cabot and his expedition successfully returned to England in the spring of She claimed their return followed an epic two-year exploration of the east coast of North America, south into the Chesapeake Bay area and perhaps as far as the Spanish territories in the Caribbean.

This find has changed the understanding of English roles in exploration of that continent. This amount was larger than any previously accounted for in royal support of the explorations.
