Detailed explanation-1: -The Polynesian canoe, the “va’a” or “outrigger canoe” is characterized by a pendulum connected to the hull by two wooden arms, attached by rubber straps. The men then moved the boat forward with a wooden paddle, with a blade tilted slightly forward.
Detailed explanation-2: -To explore the Pacific, early voyagers needed canoes that were strong and seaworthy. Today these are called vaka, va’a, waka, or wa’a – depending on where in Polynesia you are. The first Europeans who ventured into the Pacific marvelled at the skill with which these canoes were made.
Detailed explanation-3: -These canoes could be as large as 50-60 feet in length and carry two dozen people, food, livestock, and crop materials. Polynesians traveled thousands of miles exploring and settling on different islands.
Detailed explanation-4: -Explorers from the Micronesian Pacific islands navigated through the use of stick charts, which identified patterns in ocean conditions such as swells, waves, or wind (SF Fig. 8.2 A). The stick chart was constructed of materials like palm ribs, coconut fiber, and shells or coral pebbles.
