Jack London 
The Mutiny of the Elsinore 

From the author of The Call of the Wild and White Fang comes this gripping tale of grotesque characters and the unforgiving sea. Inspired by a freighter voyage that Jack London took in 1912 and brimming with action, The Mutiny of the Elsinore is the account of an eventful passage around Cape Horn in the last days of the sailing ship.
