I know various foolish/insane attempts at crossing the Pacific by rafts inspired by the Kon-Tiki have been mentioned here before, but here's one from 1977 which caught my eye:

"BEER-CAN CRAFT REACHES SINGAPORE - September 17, 1977
The Can-TIKI has sailed from Darwin to Singapore. The boat constructed from 15,000 beer cans was made to promote trade and tourism."
