Phoenician-Founded Seaport in North America?

None. The Phoenicians (c. 1500–300 BCE) were master Mediterranean seafarers who founded colonies like Carthage, Cadiz, and Lixus—but no archaeological or historical evidence supports Phoenician voyages to, or settlements in, North America.

• Their range: Mediterranean, Atlantic coasts of Iberia and Northwest Africa, possibly Cornwall (tin), Canary Islands.
• Transatlantic crossing: No ships, navigation, or records indicate capability or execution.
• Claims of Phoenician artifacts in Americas are pseudoscientific (e.g., "Bat Creek Stone" debunked).

First confirmed European contact: Norse (Vinland, ~1000 CE); sustained contact: Columbus (1492).
