Hello,<br>
<br>
Sorry to spoil the fun.<br>
As far as I could follow the 'Columbus-story':<br>
The Icelanders said: Colombus knew about America.<br>
The only ones to know about America
were the Icelanders.<br>
So Columbus must have been in Iceland.<br>
<br>

a very good piece of today's low-saxon fiction about Störtebeker. The Platt is
from western Sauerland/Westphalia. The author mixes the stories of two Lowlands' legends. Really worth reading, though hard

There were those that for instance sailed only on Hanseatic ships, and the reach
of those was rather limited: the Baltic Sea and a few North
Sea ports – with no destinations that we would consider
"overseas" nowadays.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Just a few?
They traded along the Norwegian coast, at the British coast and the continental
coast cities were mostly members. They traded with the French part of the North Sea coast too. I don't know about the Danish coast,
but the Danish coast lacks any major cities to trade with. But I'm quite sure
that there was at least some trade with the minor cities.<br>
<br>
To me that's more than a few. They traded with Iceland too. And I read, that the Hanseatic League once was banned from trading with the
Greenlandic settlements. So they at least must have planned to do so. I haven't
read anything about Hanseatic trade with the French, Spanish and Portuguese
Atlantic coast, but from time to time I look up words in the Middle Low German
dictionary and there are often place names from that region mentioned, so they
must have had regular contact with that area.<br>
