As an Irishman I believe that Saint Brendan (the Navigator) was on North American soil in the 1200ad. Which would make sense as he did sail to Portugal and Portuguese fisherman knew the 'place where the cod runs'. They would have told anyone who asked We know Americo Vespucci was in Florida thinking it was Eden. That was in the 15th or 16 century
