The records went through the hands of two record keepers in the span of less than 10 years. During that same time several groups left the Nephites and settled in other places where they arrived by ship. That could be further north in the Americas or it could be out on isles of the sea whether on the Atlantic or the Pacific side (we aren’t given information other than “northward” and only one of several ships ever returned. Although the record says they were supposed drowned it is entirely possible they found a habitable location and felt no need to return even for supplies or continued contact).
