The numenoreans were great mariners, and they ventured to the far south, several hundred miles further south than the Havens of Umbar, but what i wonder is this; Is it possible that the Numenoreans rounded the cape of Ormal, where once the great lamp of the south was located and explored the eastern coasts of Middle-earth. Has Tolkien stated it somewhere? I find it very interesting, and the question has bothered my brain a while now.
