Kon Tiki Man Is Back Again
p. 67 · Read in the full issue
Mr. Bengt Daniels son, with wife and daughter, arriving in Auckland recently, were met by Mr. Carl Swenson (right), who presented the ex-Kon Tiki man with a tin of “Kon Tiki” fish soup a brand on sale in NZ.
Mr . Danielsson, only Swede of the party, was cook on the Kon Tiki raft on its 101-days Pacific drift in 1947; and Mr. Swenson, Swedish-born but French - naturalised, was resident in Tahiti when the Kon Tiki party arrived there.
The Danielsson family left NZ by air on April 28 to settle in Tahiti, after Bengt completed research work in NZ libraries.
