About this audio guide
This guide to the Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo is about the working life aboard the balsa raft that six men sailed from Peru in nineteen forty-seven. It follows the jobs they split between them, from the steering oar and the sextant to the radio and the food stores, and the odd morning chores that fell to whoever was cooking. Best heard standing near the stern of the raft, where the steering oar sits.
