Stu Dawrs presents “The Last Navigator(s): Mau Piailug and the Master Mariners of Satawal” from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at West Hawaii Civic Center.
The free talk is part of a lecture series offered on the last Wednesday of each month by the Kona Historical Society and the County of Hawaii.
Dawrs, senior Pacific specialist librarian at the University of Hawaii’s Hamilton Library, will discuss Mau Piailug, a man who is known throughout the Pacific and celebrated for his contribution to the revival of Polynesian navigating, especially on the Hokulea. Specifically, Dawrs will tell about the creation of an online photo collection from photos by Steve Thomas, who documented Piailug’s importance as a traditional navigator.
