Saint Brendan the Navigator of Galway, Ireland legendarily sailed to America in the 6th century, to a great land where he came across a large river trending east to west (probably the Ohio River), so when about nine hundred years later, Christopher Columbus came to Galway and recruited Guillermo Herries (William Ayres) at the church of St. Nicholas, it could have been for Ayres’ cartographic knowledge, privy perhaps to maps or general knowledge provided by Saint Brendan about the voyage across the Atlantic.
