Norse Vinland voyages end
1099
The last documented Norse voyages to Vinland ended around this time, with only occasional timber expeditions to follow over the next two centuries. The Greenland colonies themselves were entering a slow decline. The first European contact with the Americas slipped back into myth, waiting to be rediscovered four centuries later.
