The story of three voyages by JC Voss, (approx 1854-1922).

The story of three voyages by JC Voss, (approx 1854-1922). Firstly a voyage in a small boat from Victoria (Canada) to Cocos Island (Costa Rica), then his epic around-the-world trip in a modified Indian canoe (from Vancouver Island), sailing from Victoria to the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil to the UK. This trip is nothing short of amazing, in such a small craft, and under incredible circumstances. The third voyage is from Japan, and involves surviving (but only just) a typhoon. (Daren) John (sometimes "Jack") Claus Voss (born Johannes Claus Voss; 1858-1922) was a German-Canadian sailor best known for sailing around the world in a modified dug-out canoe he named Tilikum ("Friend" in Chinook jargon). Initially a carpenter, Voss apprenticed on a ship voyaging around Cape Horn and thereafter lived primarily as a sailor. In 1901 Voss began his most noteworthy voyage with his friend Norman Luxton and ending alone in 1904. He chronicled this and other notable voyages in The Venturesome Voyages of Captain Voss.
