Cuando hablamos de grandes travesías en pequeños veleros, de forma natural nos viene a la cabeza un nombre: Tilikum. El velero de tres palos, construido sobre el casco de una canoa india de 38 pies de eslora, llevaría a Voss y un tripulante a lo largo de más de 40.000 millas por todos los mares del mundo, probando sus cualidades marineras y la enorme experiencia de su capitán, curtido desde muy joven a bordo de aquellos grandes veleros, que protagonizaran tantas y tantas gestas. En esta larga singladura, Voss tuvo la ocasión de probar y perfeccionar el sistema que consideraba el mejor para que una embarcación de pequeño porte como la suya, pudiese defenderse ante un mar embravecido: el ancla de capa. La polémica estaba lanzada, y aún hoy en día, defensores y detractores continúan argumentando los pros y los contras del artilugio de manera apasionada. Lo que nadie pone en duda es el alcance de la prestigiosa aventura vivida por este danés, nacionalizado canadiense, sólo equiparable a uno de los acontecimientos más trascendentales de su época en el ámbito marino: la primera vuelta al mundo en solitario de Joshua Slocum a bordo de su Spray.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. I have found every word of Voss's concerning ships and the sea to be pure gold.--Weston Martyr, sailing authorOn May 27, 1901, Captain John C. Voss, accompanied by journalist Norman Luxton, put to sea in Tilikum, a thirty-eight-foot by five-foot dugout canoe purchased on Vancouver Island from Nootka Indians. Voss was a professional sailor who, like Joshua Slocum, had been idled in the twilight of commercial sail. Luxton, a nautical innocent, was along to record the voyage for posterity. Slocum's best-seller, Sailing Alone around the World, had been published the year before, and Voss and Luxton's goal was to make a name for themselves by circling the globe in a vessel smaller than Slocum's Spray. Drawing a mere 24 inches fully loaded, and outfitted by Voss with a deck, a small keel, three stubby masts, a cockpit for the helmsman, and a tiny cabin, the Tilikum was without doubt the oddest (and hence, the most newsworthy) craft ever to attempt a deep-sea voyage.Three years and several months later, on September 2, 1904, Tilikum arrived in England after a voyage of 40,000 miles--a journey fraught with perilous and exotic adventures on both land and sea. Luxton abandoned the voyage in the South Seas, and his replacement was lost overboard in a storm. Voss carried on, and in 1912 - 13, while in Japan, he wrote The Venturesome Voyages of Captain Voss, the book that established him alongside Slocum as one of the greatest small-boat navigators of all time.This volume in The Sailor's Classics restores in its entirety Captain Voss's account of his adventures in the Tilikum, together with the more noteworthy of the two remaining narratives in the original book, a truncated but epic voyage through a typhoon in the 19-foot yawl Sea Queen. In the words of series editor Jonathan Raban, to possess this book is to have at your elbow your own compact fount of growling sea-wisdom, the classic primer on small-boat handling under all imaginable conditions. For sailors and armchair adventurers alike, this book is an unforgettable read. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education.

Cloth Boards. 1st Edition. First edition. Royal octavo, original red cloth boards with title and a vignette decoration stamped in gilt to upper board, title in gilt to spine with small gilt decoration foot of spine, frontis portrait plate of the author (with tissue guard), folding colour map showing Voss's voyages, colour map of Cocos Island, b&w plates (including photographs of the "Xora", the "Tilikum" and the "Sea Queen" under sail), pp 394. Signed to the front free endpaper, "From the author, J.C. Voss, at sea, June 28th 1914". Some fraying to the head and foot of the spine. Very good condition. Scarce thus, both as the first edition and for the signature. John Voss (1858 - 1922) was a German-Canadian sailor, best known for sailing around the world in a modified dug-out canoe he bought in Vancouver Island (along with a human skull) and named "Tilikum" ("person" or "people" in Chinook Jargon). "The saga of Capt. J. C. Voss still is unparalleled. Between 1901-1904, he sailed nearly around the world in a rebuilt Native American dugout canoe, making a voyage of 40,000 miles. He established a small-boat record in sail never approached since then." (Saltwater People Historical Society). "Venturesome Voyages" describes his various adventures, mainly in the "Tilikum": the final chapter describes sailing the "Sea Queen" (a 25 foot yawl from Yokohama) in a typhoon. For some years Voss was believed to have been lost at sea after he sailed away again from Yokohama in the "Sea Queen" in June 1913: had this signature, "at sea" in 1914, been seen there would have been less surprise when he turned up in California. A unique copy of this first edition, which is in itself scarce.
