	Orkneyjar - Earl Henry Sinclair - The Legendary Atlantic Journey
		Supporters of the legend claim that Sinclair's apparent absence from the Narrative, as well as the difficulty in matching the identities of people and places detailed within, is simply because the descendent compiling the document made several mistakes deciphering Nicolo Zeno's handwriting.
		For example, they claim that Henry Sinclair is not absent from the account but that the name "Zichmni" was simply a misspelling of "Sinclair", or perhaps an error transcribing the calligraphy for the title "d'Orcades" – “of Orkney”.
		I am inclined to agree with this and, although I have my doubts that Henry Sinclair made a trip across the Atlantic, I believe that at least one such journey took place in which Norse and Orcadian sailors were involved.

	DID FISHERMEN DISCOVER THE NEW WORLD?
		Sinclair is believed by some to have landed at what is now Guysborough, N.S. in June 2, 1398, with a fleet of 13 ships.
		However, whether or not Henry crossed the Atlantic in 1398, in all likelihood, the real European "discoverer" of the New World was an unknown, unheralded fisherman -- probably hundreds years before Columbus "sailed the ocean blue" in 1492.
		One of the most remarkable, albeit controversial, fisherman-explorer accounts is attributed to Venetian adventurer Antonio Zeno, whom Henry Sinclair aficionados believe served as Admiral of Sinclair's navy, which was one of the largest in Europe.
