> Papa Mau passed before he could finish training the next generation.
However, a new school of navigation was recreated from what he did pass on by one of his students, who recreated his non-instrument trip from Hawaii to Tahiti and then spent decades performing elaborate non-instrument trips around the Pacific as well as teaching other new navigators. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nainoa_Thompson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nainoa_Thompson
- narrator 8y agoGoing down the Wikipedia rabbit hole and reading about Papa Mau's tiny home island of "Satawal": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satawal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satawal "On March 18, 1994, the freighter Oceanus ventured out of the main shipping channel when its captain attempted to peek at topless Satawalese women. The freighter ran aground on the nearby Wenimong Reef, the primary source of food for the islanders, and 13,000 square meters of the reef were ravaged. The freighter's insurer, the North of England P&I Association, ended up paying US$2 million in compensation to the Satawalese.[2]"
