Mueller certainly did not know about the existence of the New Continent.
However, in some legendary novels in Europe, there are often descriptions of Northern European pirates once visiting a new land called "Vinland."
Some speculate that it is the legendary, lost Atlantis.
Others argue that Atlantis is closely related to the myths of the Greeks and should be located in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Losa knows that the so-called Vinland is actually Quebec in North America. Viking pirates traveled through the northern isles of Gael, passing through Iceland and Greenland, and sailed all the way to North America.
But knowing this is useless, even the closer East Africa is beyond his ability to explore, let alone the far-reaching New Continent.
In three days, Losa's first merchant fleet is set to embark on its maiden voyage.
They will carry wine, dates, salt, and linen dyed in the purple of grapes, which met little favor in the Holy Land, for a long voyage led by seasoned sailors.
