The \u003cem\u003eSnark\u003c\/em\u003e was a cutter-rigged ketch named after the subject of Lewis Carroll's famous poem. She set sail with a small crew from San Francisco Bay in the Spring of 1907 bound for Hawaii, The Marquesas Islands, Tahiti, Bora Bora, Fiji, Samoa, and the Soloman Islands. Unfortunately, the Londons were forced to end their voyage at Guadalcanal because Jack London fell ill. The late arrival of the \u003cem\u003eSnark\u003c\/em\u003e at its expected destination, caused by London's incapacity, gave rise to speculation that the vessel had been lost. The Londons sailed home by steamer, whilst the \u003cem\u003eSnark\u003c\/em\u003e was taken to Australia by a skeleton crew where she was sold. This description of a sailing adventure in the early 20th century is made very evocative by London's exceptional prose and the text is enhanced by photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 252\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 13, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49178425000088,"sku":"9781782828884","price":53.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/SmU5bDBkL2F5WmVaNnpzT2FoSVE3Zz09.webp?v=1780073590","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobooks.myshopify.com\/products\/the-cruise-of-the-snark-a-sailing-voyage-through-the-south-pacific-in-a-cutter-rigged-ketch-hardcover","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
