Explore the Legacy of Polynesian Seafaring
People of the Sea by James Wharram is a compelling account of a lifetime dedicated to the design, construction, and navigation of Polynesian double canoes. Over sixty-five years, Wharram's work has demonstrated that the sea serves not as a barrier but as a conduit between islands, embodying the spirit of the South Pacific's maritime culture.
Embark on a Voyage of Discovery
This narrative chronicles Wharram's circumnavigation aboard the 63ft Spirit of Gaia, during which he and his team explored the Polynesian islands—the spiritual homeland of their vessel. The book delves into the rich maritime heritage of the South Pacific, offering insights into the vibrant, socially sophisticated cultures that have long regarded the sea as their highway.
Inspiration for Modern Mariners
Wharram's experiences have inspired a new generation of 'People of the Sea' who traverse the world's waters in self-built craft based on his designs. His work underscores the enduring significance of traditional Polynesian navigation and boat-building techniques in contemporary seafaring.
