Historical Notes

Robert G. McCandless (Email Robert McCandless - Nauticapedia 19/04/2020) stated "In the 1920s in Victoria, a retired (ex-RN) dentist named Dr John Harper owned a large sailing yacht named Fayth. In July 1929, he sailed it from Victoria to Los Angeles with three crewmen, including my father, George McCandless who was then aged 18 and wrote about this voyage in his diary, which I own."
