Captivating tale of true adventures recounts, with wry good humor, the hardships of a two-year voyage aboard a diminutive and leaky craft. Enhanced with 119 original photographs. Library Journal Inspired by the stories he loved in his youth, London ventured to sail around the world. He gathered up his wife, a skeleton crew, and the manuscripts for several stories he was developing and packed them into the 45' Snark and departed from San Francisco in 1907. The author of The Sea Wolf was mostly seasick on the voyage, but his record became this 1911 title. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
