Great map, and yes, the Portuguese, too, chased schools of cod all the way to northern North America a good century before Columbus although they didn't establish any permanent settlements or leave any artifacts (except for a couple of maps) behind.

And the Basque who may have been fur trapping in N. American before Columbus.
