Brendan
Saint Brendan of Clonfert (c. 484 – c. 577), Brendan also spelled Brandon or Brandan, also known as Brendan the Voyager or Brendan the Navigator, was an Irish saint, monastic founder, abbot, and hero of legendary voyages in the Atlantic Ocean.
Brendan was immortalized as the hero of a legendary Christian tale of sea adventure, (“Voyage of St. Brendan the Abbot”), making an Atlantic journey with other monks to the “Promised Land of the Saints” (later identified possibly as the Canary Islands).
