WA'E - To most people this drawing wouldn't represent anything that would catch the eye of the passerby, but whenever I look at this cross section of a Hawaiian canoe, it reminds me of the great risks my ancestors took as they explored our world during a time when voyaging canoes were still made of natural materials. I often wonder how many lives were lost at sea during those treacherous voyages, what was the name of the FIRST CANOE that found Hawaii, and what were the names of her crew.....
