The oceans connect land divides. Was the saying before the advent of modern roads and rail with engine powered transport.

This is to some extend true as transport over distance was done mostly on water. But for most of history the transport on water was done near shore or were the wind was just right for the limited manouverability of the vessels.

The deep oceans were not navigable to the vessels that were available, however. But this all changed with the advent of the Caravel. It opened up the oceans and connected Europe the the Americas and India by sailing around Africa.

If you are interested in ships that have sailed in Greenland, then you might like the book "Ships in Greenlandic Waters" available from Post Greenland. You can find the book here: [ Ссылка ]
