The Viking men had been carried away from Leif's huts, because the outgoing "Indrawing Sea" floated Torfinn Karlsevne's ships onto the Labrador coast. The place was at the correct latitude. The Vikings could determine latitude to within thirty miles. Leif's description of Leif's River appeared to match Struamsfjord, but Leif's huts were not there. So, three years later, the defeated, disparing, departing Vikings may have labeled the location as "false knowledge."
