Read 'tal-Elinion' in HoME 12, if you want some kind of idea on how the men of M-E felt about the Numenoreans.
The sinking, was proably the sinking of Beleriand. I assume that the Beorian and Borrim tribes of Eriador refused the summons of the Valar and they must have thought that all the men who went to Numenor founded in the drowning of Beleriand, and they passed it on too the Marachians of Rhovanion and the Haladin and Easterlings of hte South. Remeber, the passing of the Numenoreans was proablably legendary, since they only came to M-E 600 years or so after they left and Cirdan refused to take any 50 years or so after Numenor was founded.
