"A Yacht Voyage to Norway, Denmark, and Sweden" by William A. Ross is a travelogue written in the mid-19th century. The work chronicles the author's maritime journey aboard the yacht Iris as it explores the coastal waters and towns of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Through the lens of exploration, the narrative captures the scenic beauty, local culture, and encounters with both the land and its people. At the start of the journey, Ross reflects on his farewell to London as he embarks on the Iris alongside his friend, Lord R----. The opening chapters detail their preparations for departure, the vessel's impressive specifications, and the excitement of setting sail. Ross shares both the exhilarating moments of navigating through the North Sea and the mundane aspects of maritime life, punctuated by his own bouts of sea sickness. As they approach Norway, he describes their initial encounters with the landscape and its inhabitants, highlighting the contrasts with English life and provoking an eagerness to explore the mysterious and captivating regions ahead.
