I make concessions constantly where they're due, but accusing me of taking positions that I didn't take and then expecting me to concede "Oh, you got me. I did totally take that position." might explain some of your failure.
So what is fantastical about this particular story, which at current time is unverifiable?

Here are more links to ancient seafarers.
