Scott asked: Was he a sailor?

No, but St. Brendhan was.


It's Saint Brendan, dumbass.



Saint Brendan -
Patron Saint of Sailors, Mariners






"St. Brendan was a priest and monk said to be educated by Saint Ita
and Saint Erc of Kerry. He was a friend of Saint Columba and Saint
Brendan of Birr, and founded Clonfert monastery and monastic school in
559. Many fantastic details have been added to this brief knowledge
usually based on the fictional 'Navigation' in which he is described
as searching for the Isles of the Blessed, touching the Canaries, and
even discovering America. It is possible that he actually made visits
to Scotland and Wales.






This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe
