Captain Courageous

This book is about a young boy (Harvey Cheyne) who is the son of an American millionaire who owns several railroads, and lumberyards in the pacific states. A northeastern fishing boat rescues him when he falls into the ocean off of another larger boat on his way to Europe to finish his education. The boat he falls into is called the We're Here and it is navigated by Disko Troop . Harvey requests that they turn the fishing boat around and take him back to New York.
