I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In



Here are a few more history projects that I'm just now getting around to posting.  The first is a caravel, a 15th century exploration ship; a Viking ship complete with shields; and the Kon-Tiki, a raft-type ship built of materials available in South America hundreds of years ago.  After sailing for 101 days and over 4,300 miles, Thor Heyerdahl and his crew proved that the Polynesian islands could have been settled by people from South America.
