		After passing Saltonstall Lake, the voyagers were making sharp observations in regard to their course, and were in doubt where they should land.
		Kinley and S. Gilbert, who started in a wagon for the voyagers, found them as soon as they had landed; and in a boat with Major Lafarge, J. Woodruff of Broadway, David Thomas and George McLane, brought the balloon ashore to the wagon, in which in due time they all rode back to New Haven.
		It is evident that the voyagers were in some peril while in the water; and they fortunately escaped all injury, and say they would like to make another trial at some future time.

	The Island Otherworld
		The potent fusion of this sensuous pagan imagery with the promise of Christian salvation combined with the return to a timeless, prelapsarian innocence was to have a powerful impact on the medieval Celtic imagination.
		But the influence of the stories of Bran mac Febail, or Saint Brendan (as the hero was known in a rather more Christianised, allegorical Hiberno-Latin version of this same tradition) or other voyage myths (those of Mael Duin, Mac Corra etc) was undoubtedly a factor underlying this fascination with the desert island to the West.
		But in other cases, where the voyagers returned, as well as the usual colourful travellers tales (which served to further enrich the mythical traditions involved), useful geographic knowledge was sometimes derived.

	Living Tradition CD review of Maire Breatnach - The Voyage Of Bran
		Maire Breatnach is fast becoming a legend in her own time as a startling young fiddler and composer, richly deserving the plaudits of Bill Whelan (composer of Riverdance in which she featured).
		However, the concise sleeve notes manage to evocatively and informatively summarise the legend in less than the 50 quatrains Bran is said to have told his tale of woe ("of those who seek a new life and find themselves displaced, unable to return to their place of origin").
		And perhaps part of the allure of such mythology is the freedom given to the imagination by the lack of narrative detail.

	echtrae
		I say it is misnamed, for the term immram--"rowing out"--is used to refer to sea voyages, particularly those of the monastic period, such as the Voyage of St. Brendan, the Voyage of Maelduin, or the Voyage of O'Curra.
		However, in The Voyage of Bran, we actually have an echtrae, not an immram.
		It was likely that Bran's story became confused with that of St. Brendan, and the term immram was passed on to Bran's story, despite its unsuited nature.

	Bran: The Crow
		Bran was the name of a legendary king of Britain, is the original Fisher King of the Grail Legend, and appears in both Welsh and Irish literature, each time connected to Mannanan MacLir/Manawyddan MabLlyr, and also here in Breton literature.
		This knight is named Bran, and is the grandson of a Bran-Vor, or Bran the Great, possibly identified with King Bran, known in Welsh as Bendigedfran ap Llyr, literally "Blessed Raven, son of the Sea." He is brother to Manannan/Manawyddan.
		The death-scene of the poem is similar to that of Tristan and Iseult, where Tristan, wounded in a tower above the sea and unable to look out the window, is tricked into thinking his beloved will not come, and so dies of a broken heart.
