I have the book Cod by Mark Kurlansky. It's a detailed history of that fishing industry and all influencing factors through the years.
The Basque Cod fishermen were also supposed to have visited North America on a regular basis before Columbus and supposedly there is a letter in the Columbus files from the Basque saying "We know where you got this idea."(to sail west).
