American author Jack London-best known for his fiction writing set during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1800s-was also an avid sailor. "Small-Boat Sailing," was published in 1917 in The Human Drift, a collection of short stories and essays. London recounts his time at sea, including travels on fishing schooners and coal ships but mostly on small sailboats on San Francisco Bay.
