The Cruise of the Snark?

Frybabe · « **Reply #5158 on:** February 02, 2014, 12:01:38 PM »

Winner Winner Winner

Right, Jane. Jack London's ketch, Snark, was named after Lewis Carroll's famous poem. The book is an account of his cruise of the South Pacific with his second wife in 1907. One of the crew members was Martin Johnson who, along with his wife Osa (author of I Married Adventure), became a famous adventurer and documentary film maker.
