Those Magnificent Voyagers of the Pacific

This epic story begins 5000 years ago, when the ancestors of Polynesians discovered ways to 'see' over the horizon to find and settle new islands.

Description

This epic story begins 5000 years ago, when the ancestors of Polynesians discovered ways to see over the horizon to find and settle new islands. As their landfinding skills grew, these people took ever bigger strides across the vast Pacific until they reached South America.

It was not until almost every habitable island scattered across the world's largest ocean was discovered and settled, that others would gain the skills and courage to head far from shore, allowing two great voyaging traditions to meet.
