The Cruise of the Snark is a non-fictional, illustrated book by Jack London chronicling his sailing adventure in 1907 across the south Pacific in his ketch the Snark. Accompanying London on this voyage was his wife Charmian London and a small crew. London taught himself celestial navigation and the basics of sailing and of boats during the course of this adventure and describes these details to the reader. He visits exotic locations including the Solomon Islands and Hawaii, and his first-person accounts and photographs provide insight into these remote places at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1906, Jack London began to build a 45-foot yacht on which he planned a round-the-world voyage, to last seven years. The Snark was named after Lewis Carroll's poem The Hunting of the Snark. She had two masts and was 43 feet long at the waterline, and London claimed to have spent thirty thousand dollars on her construction. She was primarily sail power; however, she also had an auxiliary 70-horsepower engine. She carried one lifeboat. After many delays, Jack and Charmian London and a small crew sailed out of San Francisco Bay on April 23, 1907, bound for the South Pacific. (Wikipedia) John Griffith "Jack" London (born John Griffith Chaney, 1876 – 1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone, including science fiction. Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote about the South Pacific in stories such as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen", and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf. London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers. He wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposés The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes.

Accompanying London on this voyage was his wife Charmian London and a small crew.Jack London was an American novelist, journalist and activist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a large fortune from writing.Provenance: Jack London probably inscribed this book to The Hussey Brothers who were ranchers on the Point Reyes Peninsula and also operated the Point Reyes Lighthouse. Hussey and other families remained on the ranches for decades and realized profits from their business. About 1877 brothers Charles, George, John and Fred Hussey took over the A Ranch lease. Fredrick Hussey (children Grace & Charles Hussey), George Hussey and Charles Hussey The Husseys moved to B Ranch in 1897. In 1899, Frederick Hussey and his brothers George and Charles, who had previously occupied A Ranch, leased B Ranch. The Hussey brothers, evidently led by Fred, operated B Ranch for almost 20 years from around 1899 to 1919. The Hussey brothers were involved in many activities at the Point. Tourists to the lighthouse were common and often asked for lodging with no notice. Fred Hussey's granddaughter Estelle Hunt Soderberg grew up at B Ranch and provided much of the history of the Hussey family. Quoted from RANCHING ON THE POINT REYES PENINSULA 1993-94 by D.S. (Dewey) Livingston, Historian, Point Reyes National Seashore.
