Numenoreans were in second age, reaffirming my point. They went EVERYWHERE before these people came up with boats. Tolkien even says so in Atlantë (or whatever that document is called where he speaks of Numenor). They went "to the uttermost east, freezing north, and blazing south, but never westward to the Undying Lands."
