Ninna Saanum, 22 years old, sailed around the globe in 1913-1914 on the Norwegian, full-rigged ship, Svaland, with her father, the captain. Her journal and photographs, and his logbook, tell the story of surviving a terrible North Sea storm, crossing the Pacific, and returning up the Atlantic, not knowing that World War I had started and that the ocean was a war zone. This is for readers seeking writing by women at sea, maritime and naval history, and accounts of the end of the age of sail.
