London Snark voyage delays spark mortgage fears
London and crew aboard the Snark head toward Tahiti on a seven year around the world voyage for Woman’s Home Companion. A mortgage on London’s Glen Ellen home was recorded to fund the trip amid fears for his safety after the ship’s gas engine delay. The Snark, 45 feet on the waterline, weighs 30 tons and costs about 25000 before departure, with engines being overhauled after delays caused by the 1906 quake and fire. London’s expedition includes stops at Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia before returning via the Horn to San Francisco.
