I would like to mention Thor Heyerdahls expeditions

In 1947 he crossed the Pacific Ocean on the balsawood raft Kon-Tiki.

This was his first expedition to be captured on film, and was later awarded Academy Award for best documentary

In 1951. He later completed similar achievements with the reed boats Ra, Ra II and Tigris.
