I don’t know about unclear, exactly…my point is he showed it could be done, in the same way that Thor Heyerdahl "duplicated” the voyage from South America to Polynesia.
Hey, thanks for the new Politics of the Seven Kingdoms essay. Excellent as usual. But I was a bit startled by this line: “as Tim Severin proved in 1977 when he duplicated the 4,500 mile voyage of Saint Brendan from Ireland to the Americas”. Is this just unclear wording, or do you believe St. Brendan actually made it to the Americas?
