Absolutely. And I am familiar with that wreck, possible Minoan or phonetician who may have traded with the Viking at the time. When if first came out they were absolutely sure of the source being the Great Lakes.
But of course that was not going to fly, too many experts still alive to allow that possibility because that would not fit the narrative they set in stone. So they have since made every effort to debunk that in mass.
No way can we change history as we know it... So then why try to even look or study history? Is this NOT the whole objective? Just shut it all down then, set it in stone and be locked in with only what we know now up to this point and save a lot of time, trouble, and money. lol
My theory is that they may have built their larger shipping vessels on site while they dug. Then sailed them down the waterway to the mouth of the St Lawrence and reloaded them onto bigger vessels to ship over the Atlantic.
That is why we find no remains of any of those vessels in the great lakes.
If my theory is correct, then remains might be found someday at/around the mouth of the St Lawrence. If they survived at all. The major problem is that they had to go around Niagara Falls. The remains might be found around there.
