The Brythonic Celts are the Welsh, Cornish, and the Bretons.The Gaels are the Irish, Scots, and Manx. Also, many Irish migrated to the United States in the 19th century due to the potato famine in Ireland. Early records show that the Celts were excellent shipbuilders and sailors. Celts developed navies of several hundred ships and were involved in great distances for exploration. The Celts have explored the entire continent, not only the New England area (Donahue 1).
