It is an illustrated nonfiction book. London recounts his sailing adventure across the South Pacific in 1907 aboard the Snark. His wife, Charmian London, and a small crew accompanied him. He shares his experience with celestial navigation and describes exotic places such as the Solomon Islands. He focuses on the life of the islands, the hardships, and the dangers of a two-year ocean voyage.
