The Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS). The PVS was founded in 1973
as an organization to research the means by which Polynesian
seafarers discovered and settled nearly every inhabitable
island in the Pacific Ocean before European explorers found
the ocean in the 16th century. Some scholars have
argued that the Polynesian drifted to these islands by accident;
PVS set out to show that a voyaging canoe of Polynesian
design could be navigated without instruments over the long,
open ocean migration routes of Polynesia.
