Summary: "To mark the 125th anniversary of Bishop Museum Press, we are pleased to reprint Canoes of Oceania. This November, Bishop Museum is proud to partner with the Polynesian Voyaging Society on an original exhibition entitled Holo Moana: Generations of Voyaging. This reprint of Canoes of Oceania coincides with the opening of this exhibition, celebrating the reawakening of long-distance voyaging by Hawaiian and Oceanic navigators over the past five decades, and which recently culminated in the completion of the three-year Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage by the voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻa. Bishop Museum Press is proud to make this classic text available once more, in the hope that it will help inspire new generations of voyagers throughout Oceania"--Foreword.
