Passage to Juneau: A Sea and Its Meanings (1999) by Jonathan Raban is a work of literary nonfiction that combines travel writing, maritime history, and cultural reflection. Framed by Raban’s small-boat journey along the Inside Passage from Seattle to Juneau, the narrative interweaves personal experience with historical accounts of exploration, indigenous presence, and colonial expansion in the Pacific Northwest. Raban uses the shifting moods of the sea as both subject and metaphor, examining how landscapes are interpreted, mythologized, and politically contested. Through its synthesis of memoir and historical inquiry, the book explores the layered meanings of place and the ways in which geography shapes identity and historical imagination.
