jan 1, 301 - Samoans reach Marquesas islands

Description:

Perhaps as early as now, or maybe into the following century, Samoans have traveled across 2000 miles (3200 km) of ocean to the Marquesas Islands, and in their boats, navigating by the sun and stars, Polynesians migrate from there to the Hawaiian Islands. At some unknown date in the coming centuries they will arrive at uninhabited Easter Island, about 3,200 kilometers (2,000 miles) southeast of the Marquesas Islands.
