The Lapita Voyage

- Lapita Voyage, an Experimental Marine Archaeological expedition following the migrations of the early Polynesians from SE Asia into the Pacific.
The ‘Lapita Voyage’ began in the first week of November 2008, when two 38ft double canoes, designed by James Wharram Designs, based on an ancient Polynesian canoe hull-form and built in the Philippines, set out on a 4,000Nm voyage along the island chains of the Philippines, Indonesia, New Guinea and the Solomons.
Their destination was Anuta and Tikopia, two tiny, remote Polynesian Outliers at the Eastern end of the Santa Cruz Islands, where the boats arrived in mid March 2009 and were donated to the islanders for their future independent inter island voyaging.
The ‘Lapita Voyage’ was the first exploration by Ethnic sailing canoe craft of one possible migration route into the Central Pacific from SE Asia. It was the first alternative voyage by double canoe to Thor Heyerdahl’s Kontiki raft voyage from South America in 1947, whereby he tried to proof the Polynesians had arrived from South America. The voyage was made entirely under sail, using traditional Polynesian crab claw sails and steering paddles.
On parts of the voyage the boats were joined by researchers, experts in various study fields, who realised that ‘the voyaging canoe’ is the ‘Base Factor’ in Pacific migration studies and hence the best platform to do their studies from. Hundreds of DNA samples of domestic animals were collected along the route to study their origins and hence the origins of the people that brought them.
The Lapita Voyage, led by German, Dutch and English, with its unique opportunities for research, was a major scientific expedition, but also a fantastic sailing adventure. The two boats met squalls, storms and days of calms. They sailed without engines or escort boat in the remote seas of the Pacific.
The arrival in Tikopia and Anuta was a momentous experience for both the islanders, who had been looking forward to this event for several years, as well as the crew after five months of hard sailing. Landing through the surf on Anuta, followed by celebrations with traditional dancing, can be experienced through this film.
This film was produced by James Wharram Designs for a presentation at ISBSA12 (International Symposium for Boat and Ship Archaeology) in Istanbul, October 2009. The voyage was filmed and edited by Hanneke Boon.

How can this video not have more likes?!?!?
Amazing work pacific voyaging is coming back to life because of so many dedicated people aroha from aotearoa
Rest In Peace James, you will continue to be a great inspiration.
This is too awesome
mabuhay!
RIP James Wharram, a life well lived
Gute Zusammenfassung auf die beste Art und Weise ein Lebenshandwerk zu geben, durch segeln und harte Arbeit.
Inspirational
So loved this video.
I really like the end, where the indigenous people navigated and piloted the boat. I hope there is an effort to promote the skills that had been passed down through the many generations.and less of the western culture. The end was by far the best. Well done
Watching from the South Pacific. Thank you
Thankyou.
Shows how smart James and Hanneke are. It will be interesting to see if In a generation the islanders are building big sailing double hulled canoes.
A wonderful gift to those who know it’s true value 😊
A beautiful video well worth watching. Aroha mai i Aotearoa. ( Love from New Zealand)
Outrigger canoes are common in the philippines ❤️ #ProudAustronesian Proud Son Of the Pacific
God bless to all and have a safe and joyous journey ahead. ❤️

much much love pacific brothers and sisters.
Thank you sir James and to all... ❤️ epic voyage 😢
Its the navigator's who are the wonder of these journeys the boats pushed them to develope the extraordinary skills to the point where they became people of the Seas... and developed their own styles of boat ⛵✨🌴😎
my first Wharram was a Narai....i sailed extensively around S.E.Alaska......looking now to build something smaller
Share some experiences, please.
Though the more publicized voyages such as the one made by Hokule'a didn't pass through the exact landings of the Austronesians, it is great to see that the original Seafarers of the Pacific, the Lapita get recognized :) It is very nice to see that the ancient canoes were built in the Philippine Archipelagoes, as it is postulated that maritime seafarers set out from Taiwan, through the Malay archipelago, and onwards to the rest of the islands in the South Pacific... and even Madagascar (and the New World!). Thanks for this Video :)
Thanks for this. I've spent some time on sailboats but I've always been very attracted to wharram cats because of their tradition and ancientness ... and because of their beauty which speaks of and from another time. I am now living in my home country - Austria - I am a traditional woodworker and work as a shepherd high up in the alps ... but if I ever were to live at the sea I would build a wharram catamaran. no doubt. Thanks for this.
Congratulations to these men of vision and to the Polynesians who sailed with them to prove that the Polynesians were sailing the oceans of the world long before the Europeans or any other peoples of the world. They were great, brave seaman and visionaries to go out and explore the world with only their native skills and knowledge of the seas and the skies.
Brave sea woman too!
Micronesia is far older than Polynesian 😅
Absolutely Beautiful, when you made this voyage I was being sent home to the PI in a wheel chair from Iraq. I hope I am able to build one of these beautiful boats and sail it through Polynesia before I get too old to do it. I just need to learn how to sail, as I have always owned or worked on power boats.
Sailing is a bit like riding a bike theres a certain skill threshold that once crossed is yours forever. That threshold for some people is easy for others it takes longer but always achievable.

THANX,,,I LOVED THIS VID...LOTS OF GOOD MEMORIES OF GREAT PLACES AND PEOPLE
Say a bit more, please.
This was such a beautiful, inspiring, enlightening, educational video. I am so glad and grateful I stumbled upon it. What a fantastic journey!
Beautiful sharing ❤️❤️👌👌👌👍🏻
I’ve been an admirer of James Wharram for many years.
He, and Hannike Boon have been an inspiration for me.
The amazing research, work, and journeys you have done is truly amazing.
Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you so much for this
Great vid. Thank you very much!
Beautiful.
ABSOLUTELY. BRILLIANT, LOVED IT, THANK YOU
Amazing, fascinating, inspiring, incredible. Thanks for creating and sharing this! 👍
LOVE the clips of dancing/singing, can hear/feel the ancient presence. WONDERFUL. The canoes show at 45:52 are absolutly BEAUTIFUL. That's the magnificence of form that comes from
generations of evolving these crafts.
thank you for this. its folks like ya'll that help prove what was thought to be scientific evidence as false, in turn helping the world know our true history, helping guide our path to the future.
That was awesome!
Thankyou - that was a really interesting video. Amazing boats, old and new and a great project.
Very emotional. I only recently discovered your amazing story, boat design and philosophy. This raised a great interest in building such a boat. To an industrial designer myself it makes a lot of sense.
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Amazing content!!!!
Absolutely fantastic
What a wonderful documentary. I have lived and voyaged a lot on a 45’ monohull vessel. This really fascinates me.
Wow! The skill level and ingenuity is truly inspiring.
Registro maravilhoso, parabéns pelo trabalho!
Beautiful Austronesians seafarers.
So many memories, as I watch these videos, come flooding back of my time sailing a 40ft catamaran (Shekinah) throughout the islands of Vanuatu for eleven years prior to retiremnent in 2010. Thank you for all your many and varied efforts within these videos!
Thanks for sharing, what a great and generous gift! I wonder how these ships have fared since then? Anyone know?...
Super. Thanks for sharing 🙏🙂
Fabulous thanks 👍
Thank you for the adventure!
How cool to hear James Wharram’s voice and hear him explaining basically the basis of his whole life’s work. For sailors everywhere, this is a massively important documentary, an honor to experience.
amazing video. thank you for sharing. also, that native navigator is awesome. he's got some serious skill if he's able to locate that speck of an island in the middle of the ocean without any modern equipment.
Interesting to see that the small outrigger hulls of Anuta are similar in design to Bigiw outriggers of southern Philippines, while the outriggers of Papua, are similar to Awang outriggers.
Wow!
Wow! respect, love, sorrow. As an addictive designer maker forever, i want to combine yurts and double canoes, may sound crazy but the 2 pinnacles of nomadic design.
thank you
The surrounding areas of the Philippines had inhabitants dated between 10,000 to 45,000 yrs. up north they discovered that humans lived about 900,000 thousand based on the traces of hunting. The Filipinos had the records as travelers and can easily mingle with any nationality with ease and can converse with anybody either by hand signal, facial signal naturally it is in their nature, and has the natural way of thinking ways to tackle obstacle putting natural solution not been done before. It is a gift very natural.
Its also a 3rd world country controlled by the Chinese and biracial spanish minorities supplyjng their native Malay population as cooks maids clerks factory workers to the worlds kitchens and factories. A corrupt government ans incapable of preventing the chinese from annexjng their lands hahahaha 😆
So inspiring ❤️
Thank you for this super interesting Doc!
A beautiful homage to the people of the sea. Seeing the last crew navigate by night was special to watch. Must’ve been very sad indeed, once the journey came to an end. Lovely work, Hanneke.
My soul rejoiced at seeing this video thank you so much for making the story available
A great tribute to you and John, as you portray a new vision of history and it's indigenous technical and cultural heritage. Thank you for sharing your inspiring dedication with this community and the world beyond.
I do really believed that the Filipinos from Luzon especially from the southern part were the ones that traveled to this far flang areas...Sorsogon, which was a kingdom comprising Masbate, Samar were the fearless seamen long time ago plus there was abundance of big trees that lumbers are very strong. They were the dialect I heard that crossed to the natives of Palawan. Why is the Philippines the highest numbers of seamen? Because, it is embedded in the DNA and are not scared of the rough high seas. I also believed that they jumped one long distance island to another island without problem long time ago using sky chart for navigation.
Indeed and like all explorers into the unknown they sailed upwind so they could get home if needed easily. Once another island is found they could return home and get supplies family etc and return to the new island thus hopping all the way across. Language and technology are often the only markers of origon.
The Lapita people are most closely related to the present day Atayal populations in Taiwan, and to the Kankanaey tribes who live in the mountainous interior of Luzon. But this is all speculative, and bound to change as the experts look deeper into this underexplored aspect of the human rade.
Would love plans for the small tender outrigger canoes
What a legacy you have and are continuing to create. Have just started looking at your boats and videos and enjoying them. Thank you from southern highlands of New South Wales Australia
Where can i buy your book.

@ 33:26, The Russell Island's finest! I want to hear more of this music!

This is very related to Thor Heyerdahls major raft expeditions like Kon Tiki and Ra
except this is historically accurate and actually happened. The balsa raft is just another daredevil stunt by the palagi.

It was proven by elena fowler from familytreedna that there's a number of different male lines, one from the austronesian but one that is from the aboriginals migration, that being haplogroup c
First of all, the first word of question will be why the Sorsoganons, Samarinyos, boholanos, Masbatenyos, ilonggos, and Cebuanons and nearby areas uses the curse word " Pesteng Waya? The answer is or was that "Yahweh" used to lived with them or they have him there as their God Patron long time ago. They were guided by him to whatever they do. Another question why suddenly, they curse "Him" is the question wanted to know, Why? Was it because of big natural calamity happened long time ago and they were abondoned they got mad at "Him" losses faith at "Him"? I do really believed thru this was the ancient inhabitants of the ancient Philippines was fearless and abundant in many many things.
33:27 what this music called?
Thor was wrong?
15:25 "and lots of beautiful girls" (dictionary; Girl; a female child,, a six year old girl) Strange
Are you unfamiliar with colloquial English? "Girls" is a term used as often as not to indicate young women. Or maybe you have some bull$h!t agenda that you're trying to insert into the commentary on this great film about Polynesian voyaging. When one says, "my girlfriend" or "my boyfriend," one is not indicating that one's partner is a child. But I suspect you already knew that. Troll.
You obviously aren’t very ejumicated
Proud heritage that lapita austronesian were from the Philippines islands proto malayo polynesian language origin is from the Philippines 2 migration of the austronesian island people to disrespect filipinos we are islander to the fullest 7500 islands paradise

There will never be unity among the austronesian island people except Philippines and Indonesia and some of the melenesian islanders were basically were the ancestors of micronesia and polynesia proof the numbers are the same eye is mata fire afi sick sakit head ulu white puti wrong is sala me aku
It a honor that the filipino austronesian sailed to micronesian and Polynesia when no.one was there 3000 years ago DNA and canoe and linguistically they just have papuan mixture and to prove this theory i can understand Indonesian language by austronesian words the austronesian filipino heritage has been lost to spanish colonization and american not by will but by thievery
Thank you salamat and mabuhay the LAPITA austronesian people
can only wonder what influence Jesus had in the early polynesians .
None, because 1. early Polynesians were around ten of thousands of years ago whereas Christ was born only 2 thousands years ago and 2. Christianity was brought to the Pacific by Europeans in the 1800s. Before 200 years ago the Pacific had never even heard of Jesus.
What an incredibly uninformed question.
When searching for the great achievements of the Third World all the fossil records unveil is a blanket, a bowl and a stick.
Isn't Mesopotamia(which happens to bring civilization to Europe) and Ancient Egypt parts belong to the Third World?

Basically polynesians are a mixture of Filipina and papuan the polynesians cannot accept it but the Filipina are the most beautiful ladies in the world also our native melanesian Filipino negrito aeta also are the best looking melanesian group
No wrong. We Tongans and Sāmoans are from the Kingdom of Tonga and Sāmoa.
We Polynesians are not of your kind. The white man colonised indoctrinated ideology is rubbish.
We Tongans especially were Seafaring Warriors 1500 years ago Tu'i Tonga Empire ie. Giants. Our bone structure are bigger, wider, heavier and more dense than you Asian, Filipinos.
Your kind have lighter boned structure smaller in stature and where is the correlation? Doesn't make sense. Search Tu'i Tonga Tu'itatui king warrior of Tonga and the Trilithon Ha'amonga and 40 metres down from there you will see his Giant Coral Backrest and you will get a gauge on how massive this Human was and how massive the Tongans were back then and today like the Sāmoans also which are 2 of the closest related people.
We Polynesians are from Polynesia not from Asia.
@@alfredtameifuna8928 you can call us asians and offend us our ladies in Hawaii and in guam are majority of the beautiful ladies are Filipina and actually if you go to all the other islands in the Philippines islands there more beautiful we dont want to be tongan or samoans we respect yall to the fullest but the samoans were on time nice to Filipinos then they snapped do your research alot of the words in samoan originated from the beautiful islands of the Philippines 7000 islands guam are Pacific islander they look exactly like Filipinos but when they take DNA is pure Filipino I straight out tell Filipinos the polynesians were one time cool with us but they hate us for being to good looking suavicito and the ladies are hot like tamales
@@kidmanila2160 I ain't talking about your ladies what you on about?
I'm talking about us Polynesians are different not the same as your kind? Sāmoan language does NOT come from Philippines get that straight.
I'm Sāmoan also, my Ancestors are so I know bro. We're are different breed from you people and totally different in everything, language, culture, traditions... You Filipino stick to your own kind and don't be listening to the white man theories.
Different bone structures you people are small, We're huge humans literally... Stating facts brah, you young ones with internet social media these days think you know it all lol. Relax, Filipino are there own people and not connected to us Polynesians.
@@kidmanila2160 😂 Sāmoan words never originated from the Philippines. Where TF did you get that from? And I'm definitely not talking about your women here?
Do you understand what I wrote in my previous message?
I'm Sāmoan also btw and we Polynesians are different from your kind? Filipino is not Polynesian? That narrative come about when internet Google, social media came about.
You Filipino are different people smaller in stature and lighter bone structure compared to us bigger people bigger bone structure body mass etc... there is no correlation brah.
@@kidmanila2160 brah 😂 Sāmoan language did not come from Philippines 🤦 get off the pipe.
