Jack Campin Early Atlantic crossings West-East (92* d) RE: Early Atlantic crossings West-East 01 Sep 17

Inuit boat technology hadn't changed for centuries before that guy showed up in Orkney in 1682. And there are places closer than that if you're starting from Greenland. Surely others did it; it's a shorter hop than Central Polynesia to New Zealand and unlike that one, you're sailing into better weather as you go. But one lost seal hunter isn't going to leave much historic record.

On the other hand: the Greenlanders are the most sexually promiscuous culture on earth. Maybe one of them dropped their genes in Lewis or Lofoten.
