Yankee's Wander World: Circling the Globe in the Brigantine Yankee

277 pp. "Aboard the brigantine Yankee the Johnsons made their fourth world cruise. Again, as in their previous cruises, the ship's company was made up of young amateur sailors; men and girls who embarked on a voyage that lasted eighteen months and covered 40000 miles of ocean sailing. The chronicle of this cruise is more than a travelogue of exciting and colorful places; it is the story of old friends and of warm welcomes, of new ports of call and fresh experience; and of the gradual understanding of peoples that came with growing knowledge of out-of-the-way parts of the world."
