About the book

Thor Heyerdahl recounts planning and sailing a 45-foot papyrus boat, modelled on the vessels in pharaohs' wall paintings, from North Africa across the Atlantic toward South America. A violent storm ended the first attempt, and within a year the seven-man crew set out again in Ra II.

Ovidiu Drugan, owner of Set Sail Nautic School, included it among his favourite books, a group of expedition stories about crossing oceans by ship or raft.
