This book I read about 20 years ago, was about,I believe St. Benedick, he sailed from Ireland to New Foundland?
1 bren from the tribe of dan, in some of the very early irish history, bren is a a pictured, and drawn as a giant standing in the ocean next to a sailing ship and he towers over it, , but this was a misinterpratation, sorta like saying he was a really big, in sailing , or he was a giant in his field, and then takeing it literly, just like when ireland was known as the end of the world, but they were speaking of distance, not time , ireland was end of the known world, the island of desteny .
There are at least two possibilities. Saint Brendan And The Voyage Before Columbus (Paperback) by Michael McGrew tells the story of St. Brendan's early transatlantic voyage. Another account is Tim Severin's the Brendan Voyage.
This is a charming book in the tradition of Thor Heyerdahl’s Kon Tiki and other scientific-mythic oceanic adventures. Here Severin retraces St. Brendan's voyage in modern times in a leather-hulled boat. What makes it so fascinating is the way that the author takes mythology from the medieval times and is able to find modern day equivalents.
For example, he suggests that St. Brendan’s account of landing on a small island may have been an encounter with a whale! The book was also presented in condensed form in National Geographic. If you really want the citation I can dig it up for you.
Also, if you Google Tim Severin and Brendan you will get dozens of hits.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
