Veantur was a Mariner from Eldalonde in western Númenór. He later resided in Andúnie, where he served as the Captain of the King's Ships under Tar-Elendil, Westernesse's fourth King (r. S.A. 590-740). Around S.A. 600, he commanded the first Númenórean ship to return to Middle-earth. His grandson, Anardil, became Tar-Aldarion, the Mariner King.
