Could An Irish Monk In The Sixth Century Really Have Sailed All The Way Across The Atlantic In A Small Open Boat, Thus Beating Columbus To The New World By Almost A Thousand Years? Relying On The Medieval Text Of St. Brendan, Awardwinning Adventure Writer Tim Severin Painstakingly Researched And Built A Boat Identical To The Leather Curragh That Carried Brendan On His Epic Voyage. He Found A Centuriesold, Familyrun Tannery To Prepare The Ox Hides In The Medieval Way; He Undertook An Exhaustive Search For Skilled Harness Makers (The Only People Who Would Know How To Stitch The Threequarterinchthick Hides Together); He Located One Of The Last Pieces Of Irishgrown Timber Tall Enough To Make The Mainmast. But His Courage And Resourcefulness Were Truly Tested On The Open Seas, Including One Heartpounding Episode When He And His Crew Repaired A Dangerous Tear In The Leather Hull By Hanging Over The Sidetheir Heads Sometimes Submerged Under The Freezing Wavesto Restitch The Leather. A Modern Classic In The Tradition Of Kontiki, The Brendan Voyage Seamlessly Blends High Adventure And Historical Relevance. It Has Been Translated Into Twentyseven Languages Since Its Original Publication In 1978.With A New Introduction By Malachy Mccourt, Author Of A Monk Swimming
