Read the following quote from U.S. Congressman Gerry Studds, “If John Cabot were alive today, he would not recognize Georges Ban

He is talking about the aspirations of a death man, John Cabot, and the "good" things he hoped for Georges Bank. He wanted greatness, and the reality was there was not more than a disaster. Nothing had turned the way he expected.

We can notice because of the contrast seen in the words used: He wanted lots and good fishes, (using a metaphor) and got bad and disastrous ones.
