We, the Navigators

In 'We, the Navigators,' David Lewis explores the ancient art of landfinding in the Pacific, documenting his experiences sailing with traditional navigators and uncovering the sophisticated methods they used to navigate across thousands of miles.

The book highlights the use of stars, ocean swells, and other natural phenomena to guide voyages, challenging earlier theories that Polynesian migrations were accidental.

Lewis's work has inspired a revival in traditional Pacific navigation and canoe building.
