David Goes Voyaging is a charming first-person account of a young boy's extraordinary journey into the heart of scientific exploration during the early twentieth century. At just twelve years old, David Binney Putnam joined the famed naturalist William Beebe on the Arcturus expedition to the Galapagos Islands, capturing the wonder and excitement of a voyage that most children only dream of experience.

Through David's youthful and observant eyes, readers are treated to a vivid exploration of the natural world and the daily life of a scientific expedition at sea. The narrative follows the crew as they investigate volcanic islands, encounter exotic wildlife-including giant tortoises and marine iguanas-and conduct deep-sea dredging in the Pacific. More than just a simple travelogue, David Goes Voyaging is a testament to the spirit of discovery and the boundless curiosity of youth.
