When was the first ship built that had any chance of crossing the ocean, even at the short Africa to Brazil point and survive?
A Viking boat may be able to pull it off but I have my doubts that anything built by the Romans or earlier would have survived in the kind of sea conditions needed to blow someone far enough off course to get to North America or South America.
