The Brendan Voyage



The 6th century voyage of  St. Brendan to America is the most fascinating of sea legends.

Could the myth of an Irish monk and his crew sailing across the Atlantic in a boat made of leather, nearly a thousand years before Columbus, be a reality?

Tim Severin describes how he and his crew put to sea in an small open boat of oxhides and survived storms, collisions  with pack ice, and visits from inquisitive whales to put the legend to the test.
