Thor Heyerdahl and his crew aboard the Kon-Tiki raft made it across the Pacific Ocean to Polynesia on this day in history, August 7, 1947, after setting sail 101 days earlier from Peru.
Heyerdahl documented his voyage in the best-selling book "Kon-Tiki" and in the 1950 documentary film of the same name. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
Heyerdahl was attempting to prove that it was possible the Polynesian islands were settled in part by people indigenous to South America, said the Kon-Tiki Museum's website.
