Other Adventures
His adventures expanded even further from Australia to Java and then to Easter Island. During this time, McGuinness took part in riots and mutinies on many different boats. Before World War I, he was gold mining in Australia, and went on adventures to the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Africa, Mexico, the West Indies, Brazil, China, and Japan. This can be found in his account ‘Nomad’.
McGuinness also "hoboed" in Canada and even became part of the Canadian militia before his return to Europe. He was eventually rumored to have become incarcerated in Venice.
From 1928 to 1930, McGuinness helped locate and evaluate the vessels used for the first Byrd expedition to Antarctica. He played the official number two role on the expedition as the first officer.
