Leif Ericsson was in Newfoundland 400 years earlier.

Did he also call it: Vineland? (an indication that grapes were growing in a climate much warmer then in later years).

There is evidence Portuguese fisherman fished off the cost of Newfoundland for centuries before Columbus ... and they kept their fishing grounds a secret because dried salt cod was so useful and in demand that it was used as money in some places.
