There is literally no reason to think this. Their ships could do no more than skirt the shorelines.

You have zero evidence of this.

It doesn't work that way. You have to provide evidence they could.

For instance, provide evidence of ocean-going vessels, trans-oceanic trade, genomic mixing, etc. Hint: don't bother, there is none.

And supposing that Troy's gold came from the Americas isn't evidence.
