Voyage of rediscovery
Synopsis
In 1985, a Hawaiian crew embarked on a remarkable journey aboard the Hokulea, a reconstructed ancient double canoe. Their mission was to prove that their ancestors could intentionally navigate the vast Pacific using only natural signs, challenging long-held skeptical theories. This book recounts their 12,000-nautical-mile odyssey from Hawaii to New Zealand and back, guided by navigator Nainoa Thompson without modern instruments, forever changing our understanding of Polynesian migration.
