Mens T – St. Brendan The Navigator

In the 6th Century, Brendan the Navigator and a crew of his fellow monks sailed from Co Kerry in a leather-covered boat, encountering many wonders including these magnificent sea creatures swirling around underneath them. Tim Severin’s heroic reconstruction of the voyage in the 1970s proved that Brendan may indeed have reached America an amazing 9 Centuries before Columbus! The small image on the front is derived from a 15th Century illustration of Brendan and his crew in their boat. An original design by Mike O’Connor.
