Common Sense Junction: A Big Day For Little Ships

This ties in with my post yesterday on the mutiny on the Bounty. From yesterday's Common Sense Junction, there's a brief look at (and related links for) the Bounty mutiny, Mark Twain's "The Great Revolution in Pitcairn", Admiral David Farragut capturing New Orleans in 1862, and Thor Heyerdahl and five crewmates setting out in 1947 on the Kon-Tiki to prove that Peruvians could have settled Polynesia.
