The Matthew Story
The Matthew that you see in Bristol today is a modern reconstruction of the original Matthew that John Cabot sailed to Newfoundland in 1497.
The Matthew 525 Project
To mark 25 years of The Matthew and the 525th anniversary of John Cabot’s voyage across the Atlantic on the original Matthew in 1497, The Matthew of Bristol Trust embarked on a project to further advance the educational aims of the ship and the Trust.
The Matthew 525 Project is now completed and The Trust is absolutely delighted to share with you a fantastic new learning resource and a brand new documentary telling the story of The Matthew from the 1990s to the present day.
Supporting The Matthew!
A beautiful ship like The Matthew requires a lot of looking after to keep it in tip-top condition and able to sail.
As The Matthew of Bristol Trust doesn’t receive any public or private funding, we rely hugely on the generosity of the general public to help us keep the ship afloat!
All money raised by charity is used to maintain The Matthew so that you can continue to visit it, sail on it and learn about its rich history.
Your support is appreciated.
