Description: In May 1901, retired seaman Captain John C. Voss put to sea in the Tilikum, a Native American dugout war canoe converted to sail. Accompanied by a crew of one, Voss aimed to circle the globe in a boat smaller than the one in which Joshua Slocum had made his legendary solo round-the-world voyage three years before. Three years later, on September 2, 1904, Tilikum arrived in England after an astonishing voyage of 40,000 miles across three oceans, a journey that established Voss, alongside Slocum, as one of the great small boat voyagers of all time. This newest addition to The Sailor's Classics series restores, in its entirety, Voss's account of his adventures in the Tilikum, long out of print in the U.S. Also included in the volume is Voss's celebrated account of his epic voyage through a typhoon in the tiny 19-foot yawl, Sea Queen.
