I think you mean, by the Irish - by a Kerryman.
In about 500 AD :-)

Google "Saint Brendan".

Seems an unlikely tale at first glance BUT there is much detail in the 
stories which would be hard to be there by fabrication alone.

Also, FWIW, Englishmen are intermingled Normans, and Normans are 
intermingled Vikings. Welsh and Irish are also by now very 
intermingled but have Celt ancestry which is not Viking.
