The last mention of the mariner Aelfwine/Eriol that I know of is a post LotR intro to the longer Narn of the the Children of Hurin written in the Post -LotR phase of the Silmarillion.
and published in War of the Jewels [complete lack of prior mention of this by CRT really makes me wonder what other little bombshells might be laying around waiting for the Vinyar Tengwar folks].

So I am interested on folks thoughts on the Eriol fragments/links do any of them still have a place in 'canonical silm' .

Of course one could just decide to create a silm w/these elements retained , but just how much if any was left in JRRt's later conceptions.

It ends on p.313 w/ '...and such lore as I[aelfwine] found in Eressea'.
