He didn't fall close to the shore, he swam from a great distance. _If_ the Closing affects swimmers and ships alike _and_ Belintar knew the secrets of negating the closing while swimming _then_ it follows that his secrets would be effective in helping ships defeat the Closing, no?

Is there some reason why you don't consider Belintar's swimming ashore (look two paragraphs above) to be a documented instance? I'm not going to waste time typing numerous instances that come to mind (as well as source quotes about the nature of the Closing) if Belintar's example fails to convince you.
