[Gutenberg 56792] • A Year in a Yawl / A True Tale of the Adventures of Four Boys in a Thirty-foot Yawl

Four young men set out on an adventure never attempted before, to sail the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, around the Florida peninsula, up the coast of the Eastern United States, and finally making their way through the Erie Canal. The adventure was fraught with danger and peril as the young men faced nature's harshest tests with squalls, sharks and freezing storms. This thrilling voyage shows how men were formed in the earliest part of the 20th century, with hard work, determination, and the grit of ambition.
