Possible NYT factual error. A solver notes that Cabot was part of a "Company of Merchant Adventurers," but it wasn't that one. Cabot was born in 1474 and died in 1557. There was a "Company of Merchant Adventurers of London," which was founded in 1407. Starting in 1689, that company was informally referred to as the "Hamburg Company." Unclear how Cabot could have had any connection to that organization. Left clue as in the original, however.
