Small-Boat Sailing

American author Jack London, best known for his fiction set during the Klondike Gold Rush, was also a passionate sailor. "Small-Boat Sailing," published in 1917 in The Human Drift, captures London's exhilarating experiences on the water—from fishing schooners and coal ships to small sailboats on San Francisco Bay. His vivid account of the hard work, danger, and thrill of handling a small boat in rough conditions will resonate with seasoned sailors and armchair adventurers alike. Part of Applewood's American Roots series, this hardcover edition is a tactile tribute to American passions through the voices of the nation's most celebrated writers. A perfect gift for maritime enthusiasts and London admirers.
