Though they are later copies of much earlier originals, these maps (circa 1440) are cartographic evidence that distant lands -- including North America -- were known to at least some Europeans far earlier than imagined, the authors conclude. But controversy arose immediately upon publication of this effort -- issued essentially simultaneous with the announcement that alumnus Paul Mellon had purchased the map for a reported $300,000 for donation to the university -- and by 2019 specialists at Yale, where it is still held, declared that the latest scientific and historical research has established the "Vinland Map" to be a modern forgery. 291 pp. including index.

Per Wikipedia, In 1785 Richard Cadman Etches And Partners, Including Nathaniel Portlock And George Dixon, Formed A Partnership, Commonly Called The King George's Sound Company, To Develop The Fur Trade. Dixon Had Also Served On Resolution In The Pacific Ocean Under Cook. In September 1785 Portlock And Dixon Sailed From England. Portlock Was In Command Of The Larger Vessel, The 320-Ton (Bm) King George, With A Crew Of 59. Dixon's Was In Command Of The 200-Ton (Bm) Queen Charlotte, With A Crew Of 33. Dixon And Portlock Sailed Together For Most Of Their Three-Year Voyage. They Crossed The Atlantic Ocean, Reaching The Falkland Islands In January 1786, And Transited Cape Horn To Enter The Pacific Ocean. They Reached The Hawaiian Islands On 24 May And Anchored In Kealakekua Bay (Where Cook Had Been Killed In 1779), But Did Not Go Ashore. They Took On Fresh Food At Other Hawaiian Islands And Proceeded On To What Is Now Alaska. After Two Years Of Plying The Waters, Portlock And Dixon Departed North America, Reaching Macao In November 1788. On Their Return Portlock And Dixon Published An Account Of The Voyage, Based In Part On Letters Written By William Beresford, The Trader On The Expedition. Portlock Harbor, A Bay On The West Coast Of Alaska's Chichagof Island, Was Named By Portlock In 1789, Following A Visit There In August 1787. Portlock, A Cannery Settlement Active In The Early And Middle 20Th Century, And Portlock Glacier, Both On Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, Were Named In His Honor.
