Yes. for one Eric the red was sailing to Iceland but missed landing in an unknown land ( Greenland)

Eric the Red's full name was Erik Thorvaldsson. He was also known as Erik the Red due to his red hair and beard. He was a Norse explorer and the founder of the first Norse settlement in Greenland.
Eric the Red's voyages were undertaken as he continuously found himself exiled or banned from the places he lived for killing neighbours and people he disagreed with. With each successive exile he moved further west until he discovered Greenland.
