History of The Marquesas
From the Global Village Travel Guide and DVD, Islands of the South Pacific. Stock footage available from
Transcript:
The Marquesas receive few visitors.
Large airplanes can't land here and there are no hotels.
Though the early inhabitants were a warrior
culture practicing cannibalism,
Captain Cook found these islands hospitable
when he visited during his second voyage in 1774.
In 1842, when the French annexed the Marquesas
the population was estimated to have
been 60,000. By 1926 the ravages of European
diseases, tribal warfare, and a collapsing culture
had reduced the population to less than 2,500 people!
Although the population has now
grown to about 7,000 again, there is an eerie sense
on these islands that a vanished people
still haunt their former homes.
These geologically young islands have no reef and
no surrounding flatlands. Each island is sharpl y divided
by steep ridges,
formidable barriers to travel and communication.
Nuku Hiva, the largest island in the group,
has a population of 2, 400.

Aranui Part 1 - Moorea to Nuku Hiva
We traveled in September of 2014 to Papeete, Tahiti. From there we ferried to Moorea for a few days to stay in a beautiful rental home with our friend Ralph Chamberlin. From there, we all traveled back to Tahiti for our long-awaited voyage aboard the freighter Aranui to the Tuamotu and Marquesa Islands. This is the first installment of that trip, and includes the islands of Moorea, Takapoto, and Nuku Hiva.
