Sailing Through Time
This article examines the Pacific Blue Shipping Partnership (PBSP), an ambitious initiative aimed at decarbonising maritime transport across Oceania. The study explores the cultural, historical and technological aspects of wind‐propelled shipping in the Pacific. Highlighting the recent delivery of the SV Juren Ae , a modern sailing cargo ship, as a significant milestone, the research contextualises the PBSP within the broader framework of interna…
Navigating the Narrative
Why do people go to sea? The relationship people have with land and sea, maritime space, boats and ships are entwined and complex, shaped and molded by the marine environment, identity and heritage. This paper explores the complexity of people's relationship with the sea to question how we can understand and model seafaring in the past, and how this can be used to better understand maritime heritage today. To be meaningful, computational analysis…
Without precedent
The cultural revitalisation of voyaging in the Marshall Islands is gaining momentum under extraordinary social conditions involving shifting protocols in the use of navigational knowledge. The first phase of the project (2005-2009) facilitated an elder from Rongelap in achieving the social status of a titled navigator, a process that involved delicate negotiation between chiefly permission to share knowledge and the resulting loss of meaning and …
Resolving Ambivalence in Marshallese Navigation
Marshallese wave navigation remains one of the least understood systems of traditional spatial orientation in Oceania. A sharp decline in voyaging during the historic era and continuing reluctance to share the surviving family-based knowledge of the waves has led to ambiguous and sometimes contradictory interpretations, encompassing both local and anthropological ambivalence. In this article, I examine the navigational concepts of two acknowledge…
At Home and in the Field
Complementarity of Cognitive and Experiential Ways of Knowing the Ocean in Marshallese Navigation
Way-finders and navigators throughout the world have developed ways to think about and move through their particular environments. This article provides details of a wave-based system of navigation in the Marshall Islands, in which navigators mentally recall information of the ocean from models and maps (commonly known as "stick charts") but place a strong emphasis on perceiving the movement of waves. I argue that in Marshallese navigation a powe…
Limitations of Language for Conveying Navigational Knowledge
Investigators have tended to view navigation either through the lens of cognition or of experience and embodiment. The cognitive approach assumes that perceptually salient aspects of the environment are mapped and retrieved in the mind (so-called cognitive mapping). The alternative is that navigators "feel" their way by ongoing sensations of movement, assessing their position through the sequential, temporal order in which salient environmental i…
