Pacific – Heart of Earth

August–October 1986

This event took place during the United Nations International Year of Peace, in support of a nuclear-free and independent Pacific. The major focus was a ceremonial launch of a fleet of model Pacific outrigger canoes on the Thames and their passage from the Peace Pagoda at Battersea Park down-river to Greenwich. The model canoes were constructed at workshops by volunteers ranging from individuals of all ages to school groups.
