And there is also that wacky Scandinavian whose name eludes me that crossed the atlantic on a papyrus ship built like the ones in ancient egypt to prove that it could have happened (and explain pyramids in both continents) I find this topic quite interesting.

That was Thor Heyerdahl on KonTiki, there is a book about it by the same name.
And let's not forget the voyages of Brendan the Voyager (St. Brendan from Ireland)
