Long out of print in the U.S., this newest addition to The Sailor's Classics series recounts John Voss's 1901 epic voyage around the world in the Tilikum, a Native American dugout war canoe converted to sail. 18 illustrations.In 1901, Captain Voss and his one man crew set of in a native American war canoe, named Tilikum, in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. In 1904 he arrived in England, 40,000 miles from his departure point, alone. This book tells the story of his journey; and of a later one Voss took from Japan.
