Description
This is a book on Austronesian sailing canoes. The first couple chapters focus on differences in design and techniques across different regions, moving on to seaworthiness and physics of the ships. In the final chapters the focus shifts to immigration and technology disbursement across Austronesia. However, it must be noted that this book was written in **1981**, and information on immigration and technology disbursement is severely outdated and **contains several disproven ideas**. For these topics it is recommended to look elsewhere. The information on boat craft and use still remains relevant today. This book contains many diagrams, blueprints, charts, photos, and illustrations.
