Kon-Tiki
Author: Thor Heyerdahl
256 pages
Ratings: 4.2 GoodreadsSummary: Kon-Tiki is the record of an astonishing adventure across the Pacific Ocean. Intrigued by Polynesian folklore, biologist Thor Heyerdahl suspected that the South Sea Islands had been settled by an ancient race from thousands of miles to the east. He decided to prove his theory by building a boat using the materials that would have been available to those pre-Columbian sailors and duplicating their legendary voyage.
On April 28, 1947, Heyerdahl and five other adventurers sailed from Peru on a raft built from balsa wood, bamboo, and hemp. After three months and 4,300 nautical miles on the open sea they sighted land—the Polynesian island of Puka Puka.
We will meet at 7pm on Tuesday, June 24 at:
TBDI will be there early- I have short brown hair and glasses, and will be carrying a copy of the book.
