The Cabot journal was a journal kept by Sebastian Cabot, an explorer who spent time in Haven around 1496.
His journal included notes on the Troubles as well as a Mi'kmaq legend on a Great Evil.
In the See No Evil episode Vince Teagues explains to Duke Crocker and Nathan Wournos that Cabot's Journal is written in a very old ancient Mi'kmaq language that is going to be very hard to decipher to help them with defeating Mara and it is known to have a map or the location of The Thinny in Haven.
