Description: 1974 December DISCOVERERS ISLANDS OF PACIFIC National Geographic Map Map is approximately 23” x 37”. All maps are inspected and are in excellent pre-owned unused condition. Before Columbus sailed and before the Vikings ventured westward, the sea people (Polynesians, Micronesians, and the Melanesians) had discovered every habitable island in the vast mid-pacific, all without a compass in hand-when canoes rigged with sails of leaves. This map/study is about these people and their boats and the world that they knew. The map-side is titled Islands of the Pacific and covers the area from Baha-California to Australia and Indonesia; many small islands with brief descriptions of historic information. The reverse-side is filled with information and illustrations about the various types of boats used to navigate these vast waters, how the ships were built, how they steered by stars, by swell patterns, by flight patterns of birds, etc. There is also a large map inset of the Pacific and where the various groups traveled.
