Did You Know Canoes Brought Voyagers To Pacific Homes
National Geographic Society reports in a revised edition of Men Ships and the Sea that Southeast Asian canoes guided voyagers to distant Pacific island homes centuries before Columbus. Double canoes of Tonga measured up to 100 feet and ferried about 200 passengers. The common tern may fly up to 12 hours and 200 miles while foraging, and unlike herring gulls, it spurns garbage and flotsam from boats.
