No. In 1620 there were no water trade routes. In the Atlantic there is a strong current that runs between England and the east coast of North America. They got into that current and a storm blew them off course to Massachusetts instead of Virginia.

Why did ottomans stop European traders from using traditional land routes to India?

Because the Ottomans were definitely Muslim, having got the religion from the Arabs. So, they viewed the Christianity of Europe as an "infidel" religion, and regarded Europe as an enemy. And obviously, you wouldn't want the enemy to use trade routes that ran inside of their territory. Before the Crusades, pilgrims were still allowed to enter the Holy Land, but that area was only on the edge of Ottoman territory. Because of this blockage of trade routes, European sailors had to chart a sea route around Africa, ultimately resulting in Columbus's landmark 1492 voyage.

As maritime trade became more prominent, neighboring regions and emerging powers could more easily access goods and resources, diminishing Meroe's economic influence. Additionally, this change likely facilitated the rise of competing ports and trade centers along the coast, which further undermined Meroe's strategic position in regional trade networks.
