Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Around the World in a Dugout Canoe: The Untold Story of Captain John Voss and the Tilikum, MacFarlane, John; Salmon, Lynn J. Published by Harbour Publishing, Pender Harbour, British Columbia, 2020. First Edition. 268pp., illustrated. In fine, unread condition and housed in a fine, unclipped jacket. Anticipating fame and wealth, Captain John Voss set out from Victoria, BC, in 1901, seeking to claim the world record for the smallest vessel ever to circumnavigate the globe. For the journey, he procured an authentic dugout cedar canoe from an Indigenous village on the east coast of Vancouver Island. For three years Voss and the Tilikum, aided by a rotating cast of characters, visited Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil and finally England. In this groundbreaking work, marine historians John MacFarlane and Lynn Salmon sift fact from fiction, Around the World in a Dugout Canoe tells the real story of a little-understood character and his cedar canoe. It is an enduring story of courage, adventure, sheer luck and at times tragedy.
