Around the world in a dugout canoe : the untold story of Captain John Voss and the Tilikum

Author: MacFarlane, John; Salmon, Lynn J.

Responsibility: John M, MacFarlane; Lynn J. Salmon

Publisher: Madeira Park, BC : Harbour Publishing

Published Date: 2019

Physical Description: 268 p.

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: Travel; Tourism; Luxton, Norman; Voss, John Claus; Canoeing; Sailing

Abstract: "For three years Voss and the Tilikum, aided by a rotating cast of characters, visited Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil and finally England, weathering heavy gales at sea and attracting large crowds of spectators on shore. The austere on-board conditions and simple navigational equipment Voss used throughout the voyage are a testimony to his skill and to the solid construction of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth vessel. Both Voss and his original mate, newspaperman N.K. Luxton, later wrote about their journey in accounts compromised by poor memories, brazen egos and outright lies. Stories of murder, cannibalism and high-seas terror have been repeated elsewhere without any regard to the truth. Now, over a century later, a full and fair account of the voyage--and the magnitude of Voss’s accomplishment--is at last fully detailed. In this groundbreaking work, marine historians John MacFarlane and Lynn Salmon sift fact from fiction, critically examining the claims of Voss’s and Luxton’s manuscripts against research from libraries, archives, museums and primary sources around the world. Including unpublished photographs, letters and ephemera from the voyage, Around the World in a Dugout Canoe tells the real story of a little-understood character and his cedar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."-- Provided by publisher.

Contents: John Claus Voss -- Treasure Hunting in the Xora -- Norman Kenny Luxton -- “Out-Slocuming” Joshua Slocum -- Preparing to Voyage -- Across the Pacific -- Penrhyn Island and Beyond -- The Mate Walter Louis Begent -- Australia -- New Zealand -- South Africa -- Brazil and up the Atlantic to England -- Repatriation to Victoria -- The Sea Queen, the Tilikum II and Voss’s Last Years.
