Best Answer

St. Brendan is amongst the people that are believed to have reached America before Columbus did. In 1977, an Adventurer named Tim Severin tried to get from Ireland to North America in a boat that would have been similar to ones from the 6th century, which is when St. Brendan is said to have made his voyage. Tim Severin succeeded, and reached Newfoundland, proving that it was possible that St. Brendan did do it.
