I noticed that three ancient maps the ZenoCatalanand Prunes all had similar — but not identical — coastlines for Frisland.

I further suspected that the error of declination could be resolved by tipping the maps upside down to account for the fact that in the 14th century, the Magnetic North Pole was situated someplace between Labrador and Foxe Basin near Baffin Island. The adjusted orientation placed three promontories of Frisland on the Northeastern Coast.

I noticed that on modern maps, Newfoundland had a similar arrangement of three major promontories and shoals on the Northeastern Coast in the region of Notre Dame Bay. Indeed, all the maps of Newfoundland I had ever seen in the past did not show such an island group along the Northwest Newfoundland Coast.

I went to Google Maps; and kept enlarging the Northwest Coast of Newfoundland to see what might have been hidden by the scale of such a large territory. There are about 9 smaller isles.

The Map has 6; the Map shows 11; and the Map has I suspect that the total number of isles counted by ancient cartographers was influenced by changing sea-levels and leeway in the size of isles that were identified as important.

Why were the isles shown enlarged on the ancient maps? I suspect the ancient isles were major spawning grounds and fishing areas during the Medieval Warm Period — but not so later on.

It was not at all unusual for mapmakers to enlarge places that had particular importance to patrons. Fishermen were inclined to keep favorite grounds secret; and that preference was not betrayed by placement on schematic maps.

Actually finding the valuable fishing areas depended primarily upon the skills and memories of veteran navigators. Anyway, ancient fishermen would not have placed the isles on the map — unless they had actually been there.

This military triumph freed the inhabitants from the pirate tyranny; and it restored the flow of vitally-needed stockfish dried, salted cod that was a major food source in Europe from the 14th through the 17th centuries. In the traditional history as taught by Isolationist scholars, Columbus and the Spanish Conquistadores got credit for their Conquest of the New World.

Prior centuries of trade across the North Atlantic between the Old World and American Colonies was largely ignored, because is simply did not generate the sort of powerful impact that still dominates the popular stories featured in the evening television news programs.

Nevertheless, the welfare of European peasants and the economies of European Cities were closely-tied to enormous cargoes shipped across the North Atlantic Ocean.
