PDF < Around the World Single-Handed: the Cruise TLSSUDBAUI > Around the World Single-Handed: The Cruise of the Islander ~ Doc A round th e W orld Single-Handed: Th e Cruise of th e Islander By Harry Pidgeon Dover Publications Inc., United States, 2012. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 210 x 136 mm. Language: English . Brand New Book. The Islander was my first attempt at building a sailboat, but I don t suppose there ever was an amateur built craft that so nearly fulfilled the dream of her owner, or that a landsman ever came so near to weaving a magic carpet of the sea. So begins this fascinating first-person narrative by a man who did what many dream of but few accomplish. Between 1921 and 1925 Harry Pidgeon circumnavigated the globe in a sailboat of his own construction, experienced many thrilling adventures in the far corners of the world, and relied mainly on his own strength, skill, and resourcefulness to survive. After building his 34-foot yawl (at a cost of $1,000 for materials and a year and a half of hard work), the author sailed from California west across the Pacific to Hawaii in a test voyage. Then, from Los Angeles he cruised to lush and fabled islands the Marquesas, Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji, New Hebrides, and New Guinea. With grace and economy, Mr. Pidgeon describes memorable encounters with native peoples (including suspected cannibals), tribal rites...

Most parents, upon hearing such talk, would dismiss it as impetuosity, but four and a half months later Robin stepped aboard his own 24 foot fiberglass sloop, Dove, a light displacement craft usually regarded as a day-sailor, and shoved off from Los Angeles for a shakedown cruise to Hawaii, a passage that took 22 1/2 days and was a piece of cake all the way. Alone except for a pair of kittens, he entertained himself most of the way with his guitar and folk tunes, navigating the 2,230 nautical miles with the aplomb of a veteran topgallant hand. It was so easy, in fact, that once in the islands, it seemed the most natural thing in the world just to keep going on around. At first, he hoped to find a companion to share the adventure, but few schoolboys have parents as lenient as were Robin's mother and father. Then he made up his mind to do it alone, just as had Captain Slocum back in 1895-1898.

Short but sweet!By John the ReaderHarry Pidgeon, a farm boy from Iowa did not even see the sea until he was eighteen but by then he had "mucked about" a bit in boats as do most lads and after a spell in Alaska, he decided to build one of the famous Rudder Magazines 'Islander' sloops. Having completed his thirty four foot wooden sailing boat, single-handed, without "too much trouble" he said, he launched and sailed it - single-handed - to Hawaii.He accepted a crew for the return, who joined with a brand new guitar. He was, he said, going to learn how to play it, during his "spare time" on the voyage. Harry concluded that this crew-hand somewhat lacked experience of sailing a sloop across an ocean.

At that time I believed that the job could be done quickly and easily. Twelve years, three computers, and some 8,000 titles later I know that I was wrong about the size and difficulty of the task, but, nevertheless, right about decid- ing to undertake it. Although demanding, it has been the source of much satis- faction. Now the writing has been completed and the book is ready for publication. It is lengthy, but not really finished. Bibliographies never are. Over 2,000 of the titles examined were eliminated. Those which remained for inclusion

  • Pacific Islands Collections at the California Museum of Photography, University of California–Riverside
    BEARDSLE Page 187 Wednesday, June 12, 2002 6:55 AM PACIFIC ISLANDS COLLECTIONS AT THE CALIFORNIA MUSEUM OF PHOTOGRAPHY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA–RIVERSIDE Felicia R. Beardsley University of California, Riverside More than twenty thousand photographs in the collections at the California Museum of Photography, University of California–Riverside (UCR CMP), docu- ment a century of history in the Pacific region. Most were taken between 1870 and 1930, many by a corps of unnamed photographers dispatched by stereo- graphic companies to collect images for commercial purposes. There were also individuals like Harry Pidgeon, who crossed the Pacific documenting all aspects of life in the region. The Pacific images in two of the principal stereographic collections at UCR CMP, the Keystone-Mast Collection and the Harry Pidgeon Collection, are described. These collections have not been cataloged, yet for those willing to brave the idiosyncratic filing systems established by the original stereographic companies as well as Pidgeon himself, they are well worth the time and effort. For the archaeologist, anthropologist, and historian working in the region, the collections provide a wealth of information that complements and illustrates other research materials. Represented are traditional activities and occupations, rituals, crafts, architecture, monuments, and other material culture elements, along with images of burgeoning development and “modern” indus- trial societies. From “Savage Maneaters of New Guinea” to “Samoan Maidens,” perhaps twenty thousand or more of the nearly half-million photographs housed in the collections at the California Museum of Photography, University of Cali- fornia–Riverside (UCR CMP), document a century of history in the Pacific region, with the majority of images taken between 1870 and 1930.
