Raggytash Early Atlantic crossings West-East (92* d) RE: Early Atlantic crossings West-East 31 Aug 17

I really don't want this thread to descend into a "I said/he said" debacle.

I posted that it was SAID that St Brendan sailed to America. I care not one iota where he did or he didn't but it was SAID that he did.

In your seemingly pathological dislike for me, and anything I post, you weighed in to say there is no "evidence" at all that St Brendan crossed the Atlantic.

Many years after the event the Martyrology of Tallaght mentions him as a seafarer. Who knows.

I know not (and neither do you) whether or not such a voyage took place, and in truth I don't really care.

However I do like the story and thoroughly enjoyed Tim Severin's book about his voyage.

In posting to this thread I did so in response to the OP which asked "Can anybody add anything to this topic?"

I think I have added a little ......... and your contribution?
