Ajouter au panierCloth 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.
