According to the 9th century document "Voyage of St Brendan the Navigator", Saint Branden set sail westward from this point in the 6th century, and traveled across the Atlantic.[3][4][5]

Adventurer Tim Severin took a five-man crew across the Atlantic to prove that St Brendan's voyage would have been possible in the 6th century. The journey departed in May 1976 from Brandon Creek.[6]
