Saint Brendan managed it from Ireland in 545 AD, or there and abouts. And that was how there was an Irish bar there ready to receive the thirsty vikings...0

none of them were the first humans to reach the Americas though.... that happened around 12,000 years ago, if I recall correctly... across the Bering strait, which back then was a bridge of land from Siberia to Alaska. They were Homo sapiens sapiens with a late upper palaeolithic level of technology.
Happy Leif Ericson day anyway though, it's quite an impressive feat even so.0
