1. The Brendan Voyage
A gripping firsthand account of a daring reconstruction of a sixth-century leather-hulled boat and its transatlantic voyage from Ireland to Newfoundland, undertaken to test whether an early medieval seafarer could have reached North America. The narrative covers the traditional construction methods, navigation with period techniques, daily life aboard, and the constant hazards—storms, leaks, and ice—while conveying the physical and psychological challenges the crew faced and the voyage’s ultimate demonstration of feasibility.
