    Moral Pirates by William Livingston Alden.

    Excerpt: “… you and two or three other fellows might make a splendid cruise in a row-boat. You could have a mast and sail, and you could take provisions and things, and cruise from Harlem all the way up into the lakes in the Northern woods. It would be all the same as piracy, except that you would not be committing crimes, and making innocent people wretched.”…”We’d have a gun and a lot of fishing-lines, and we could live on fish and bears. There’s bears in the woods, you know.” [End] ~ Thus four teenage boys set out for adventures being a different sort of pirate - Moral Pirates.

    Last Voyage of the Karluk by Robert Abram Bartlett and Ralph T. Hale.

    In August 1913, the Karluk, flagship of Vilhjalmar Stefansson’s Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913–16, became trapped in the ice while sailing to Herschel Island near the northern Alaska/Yukon border. After drifting across the Beaufort and Chukchi seas, in January 1914 the ship was crushed by the ice and sank. In the following months, the crew struggled to survive, first on the ice and then on the shores of Wrangell Island. In all, eleven men of the crew of 25 died before rescue.
