R.I.P Tim Severin. It was a remarkable achievement to follow instructions recorded in the 6th century that involve building a leather/wooden boat and replicate a voyage across the Atlantic, proving that it was very likely to be based on actual events.
Currently reading Odinn's Child by Tim Severin. What an amazing man. Not only did he write amazing stories he lived one too. Shame he doesnt get that much recognition. This is guy is a true legend. RIP Tim.
I saw this boat in 1976 when I went to the Boat Show in London with my dad. He died 6 weeks later. I then saw it again last year (2021) at Cragganowen in Co Clare. Brought back memories.
I'm reading the book again after many years, just on the off-chance I thought to check if the film was still available, wow, I'm so happy to see it, PLUS I love the emotive Irish music!
@barry herpes, I have, really enjoyed it, I vaguely recall that he disappeared on another voyage. Try to find 'A Giant in Hiding' by Lawrence G. Green, who built a copy of Slocum's boat, great book. Look for more Tim Severin books, he's a historical explorer, start with 'The Jason Voyage'.
I went to St. Brendan Church and grade school as a child but I only heard of the saint's chasing the snakes out of Ireland, not this voyage. It's so great to learn this history.
It's called The Brendan Voyage by Liam Ó Flynn it is a fantastic cd of irish pipes aka Úilleann Pipes. The difference being The irish pipes are played with the Elbow hence Úilleann.
Pipe music can be so beautiful, DId the drugs of the 70's win out over pure reason and artistryI lost brain cells listening to it. Great documentary. Awful nusical sound track. Won't be buying that album!
Came here after hearing that wild Hunter X Hunter theory ! ! ! It's my first time knowing about #StBrendansVoyage tonight, 12:40 midnight of February 18, 2023, Saturday! I wonder if there are Irish people who know or watch Hunter X Hunter (or if #intelligentlywrittenAnime are popular in Ireland). 🤔 How cool that would be to meet Irish #HunterXHunter fans in the future! #AsianFanofIrishCulturehere 🇨🇮🏝️ 🇵🇭 In case of curiosity, this is the video that led me to search for St. Brendan's Voyage: ruclips.net/video/dym2l7EuVvg/видео.html
The narrator's voice is going up and down, it's just less noticeable because human voices naturally go up and down already. You can hear it around 1:14 There's a very high quality version here: ruclips.net/video/wB2EsZhzVtE/видео.html But it's only the first few minutes of the documentary
If youre in 7th grade I can see how financials could be a problem, but there are several simple bought that one could build for less than $400. I recommend picking up some boat building books first from the library so you can see whats involve. I would try building a bookshelf first though using proper woodworking principles.
A week ago a conversation about seasoning timber for waggon wheel hubs on RUclips ruclips.net/video/8UT48RJB1IM/видео.html&lc=Ugyp5y40SoN7nToMvKp4AaABAg.9PsiGRNkJ7s9Q6Ei1T7CiG reminded me of Tim Severin's Experimental Archaeological endeavours that I had read in my youth. This set me to re-reading the Brendan Voyage, (classic books like that you NEVER throw away!), but my edition predates the film and all illustrations are drawings. I think to myself: There was a film made about this. 45 years on, with the magic (for those times :-) of RUclips, somebody must have posted something! Low and behold, some kind person has done the world a great favour and up-loaded it, (thank you Marcus Ua Donnghaile !), and I can put real pictures to what I have just been reading. Now I will continue reading before watching Part Two.
"On board five men risk cold, discomfort and their lives," except that for the entire journey they are accompanied by a rescue vessel never shown by the camera.

Must’ve been cramped on that little boat with such large brass balls.

@@marcusuadonnghaile1855 Thanks for the link, very interesting.
Has any DNA work been carried out since or is anybody looking into it?
A great adventurer. Watch his voyage in the Argos too

May he rest in peace!
Agreed VikingHipHop. The book of the Brendan Voyage is a fine read. Zero sailing knowledge required to enjoy.
Wow! Anoche terminé de leer el atrapante libro " El Viaje del Brendan" y ahora viendo este documental. Una proeza fascinante ⛵
I read Tim Severin' s book when I was 15. I still admire the courage of his crew. Great adventure!
I saw this boat in 1976 when I went to the Boat Show in London with my dad. He died 6 weeks later. I then saw it again last year (2021) at Cragganowen in Co Clare. Brought back memories.
Not everything needs music!!!
Absolutely fantastic. Amazing journey and wonderful documentary About saint Brendan and his Voyage.
St Brendan discovered the new world 100%
R.i.p. Tim, great documentary, music is hilarious 😆

@@marcusuadonnghaile1855 thank you
Thank you for uploading this.
I only found out the other day who this legendary man was. I was reliably informed His boat is still moored across from ours in the marina.
Where is that
St brendan has definitely carried out the voyage to america.
That’s remarkably sure
are You sure about that??
@@atomicdawg100 I see no reason to doubt the claim
@@ItsJustMorris
just saying its not “definite” as it hasn’t been proven... although personally i don’t doubt it either.
@@atomicdawg100 positive
Apart from the music its a good documentary
Thanks for sharing, what a heroic voyage to attempt at that time.
I am reading this book for my 7th grade curriculum
Wow! This is amazing! Love seeing videos like this on youtube! Thank you so much for sharing this! :D

The snake story is St Patrick, not Brendan…
That’s St Patrick not St Brendan
Fabulous! I watched this in the 80’s and read the book. There is a CD with pipe music too.
It's called The Brendan Voyage by Liam Ó Flynn it is a fantastic cd of irish pipes aka Úilleann Pipes. The difference being The irish pipes are played with the Elbow hence Úilleann.
So Brendan definitely was the first to sail to America.... now it's proved.....
What about the red Indians???
Wouldn't have been my choice of music either!!!

In case of curiosity, this is the video that led me to search for St. Brendan's Voyage:
ruclips.net/video/dym2l7EuVvg/видео.html
" Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis"!
spooky music that speeds up and slows down despite the narrators voice playing at the right speed ??!!
Yes the music is not fun to listen to
The narrator's voice is going up and down, it's just less noticeable because human voices naturally go up and down already. You can hear it around 1:14

.....this poor soundtrack is slowly dying
I wish I could build a boat

Can you get this and other TS voyages on DVD?.
Only one I have - sorry!
On youtube
I think probably giants came and showed them how to build boat or gave them some magic. I saw this on recent documentary
Grow up and join the real world, it's much more fun than any fantasy world
20:15 no mercy
Hello everyone in 1 doyle
Haha, Greek panflute music. Very off topic in a documentary like this.
Agreed:-(
This was a good documentary for it’s day but spoiled at the end with the butchers aprons or as they call them - Union Jacks!
Anyone else here because of ambleside?
Percy Mcglocklan - where's Ambleside?
Where?
What on earth is going on with the background music? Who approved this noise?
This is Irish music.
I think there was something wrong with there record player
Terrible sound quality!

No the shots offboard were from an inflatable .
Read the book.lazy critic
