The Kon-Tiki, the raft used by Thor Heyerdahl for his famous 1947 expedition, measured 14 meters (46 feet) in length and 5 meters (16 feet) in width. Constructed primarily from balsa wood, it was designed to demonstrate the possibility of ancient South American people traveling to Polynesia. The journey covered over 8,000 kilometers (about 5,000 miles) across the Pacific Ocean.
