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.

With the caravel the Portugeese and Spanish started to be able to easily reach the rich fishing areas of the Newfoundland banks and Greenland. 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: www.stamps.gl/...
Regarding Greenland I recently read and interesting little counterfactual book about an archaeologist finding traces of an ancient culture based on whaling at the coasts of Greenland. Its called "The Whale Culture of Greenland.
