Read Baring-Gould’s full account

Baring-Gould’s sources: Gallican Martyrologies. Venerated in Brittany. Authority: — A late life founded on popular tradition.] S. Vougas, or Vie, is venerated especially at Treguenec, in Brittany, where his relics is said to have been preserved. He is thought to have been an Irish bishop who mounted a stone, and sailed across the sea on it; a tradition which has sprung up from the fact of a rock off the coast being called the Ship, Irom a fancied resemblance to one; and then, in course of time, it was supposed to be S. Vie's ship.
