Written by a thirteen-year-old in pencil as the ship sailed north, this is David Putnam’s account of a summer expedition to Greenland with the famous Arctic captain Bob Bartlett, who contributes the foreword. He describes the Strait of Belle Isle, the coast of Greenland, the Inuit people, hunting, and the days when the ship struck rocks and the party waited at Shipwreck Camp.
