Wells was the author of eighteen travel-related books, including Six Years in the Malay Jungle, Road to Shalimar, and North of Singapore.[1]

Wells also produced films, radio and television shows relating to his travels.[1]

Biography

Wells was born in Surrey, England. His father, Bermudian Thomas Grant Wells (whom Carveth Wells described as one of a long line of forebears named Thomas Wells stretching back to the 17th Century settlement of Bermuda, including a Member of the Council of Bermuda and Ensign of the Bermuda Militia),[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] had been a civilian paymaster of the Royal Naval Dockyard in the Imperial fortress colony of Bermuda (where his paternal grandfather, Asael Wells, had been an accountant at the Royal Naval Hospital) who was seriously injured by criminals attempting to rob him of the payroll in his charge. Insensible, and with a fractured skull, he was sent to the Royal Naval Hospital, Plymouth, at Devonport, England, where he regained consciousness after a piece of his skull was removed. It was thought that his father would not live long and he was advised to apply for a commuted pension and to withdraw the money in a lump sum, which he quickly spent. His father, in fact, lived into his eighties, married in England to Carveth Wells' mother, and never returned to Bermuda or Nattie, the young woman there he would presumably otherwise have married.[15][16] Carveth Wells graduated from London University in 1909, with an engineering degree.[1]

In 1912, the British government sent Wells to its then-colony of Malaya, to survey the route for a railroad, and to explore the flora and fauna of the region.[1] Here he was the first person to report an encounter with the Mayah people of the Tanum Valley, Pahang.[17] However, Wells' health suffered badly in Malaya.[18] In 1918, he moved to the United States, and settled in San Francisco.[1] In San Francisco, Wells started lecturing on his travel experiences.[18]

Wells led expeditions to Kenya, Tanganyika, Mt. Ararat, Panama, Mexico, Japan, Morocco, Syria, Egypt, Palestine, India and Manchuria.[1]

In 1932, Wells married his wife, the former Zetta Robart.[1] Robart had been Wells' production manager. In 1934, Wells' first wife, Laura T. Wells, sued Ms. Robart, alleging misconduct and alienation of affections.[19]

In the early 1930s, Wells and his wife travelled to Soviet Russia, on a trip that would take him to the borders of Turkey, in search of the remains of Noah's Ark. On the trip, Wells observed the Soviet famine of 1932-33, which would eventually kill millions of Russians.[20][21] Wells also encountered a group living in the Carpathian mountains, which still had chainmail left over from the Crusades.[21] Wells recorded his observations of the trip in his book, Kapoot: The Narrative of a Journey From Leningrad to Mount Ararat in Search of Noah's Ark.[20]

In the 1930s and 40s, Wells and his wife began producing films concerning their travels. They jointly produced The Jungle Killer (1932), Russia Today (1933), and Australia Wild and Strange.[20][22]

In his book, North of Singapore, written in 1939, Wells documented Japanese attitudes towards the United States and China on the eve of World War II.[18]

On that same trip to the Far East, in 1939, Wells adopted a talking mina bird—which he named "Raffles." Raffles appeared with Wells on many radio programs and at theaters. He is credited with helping Wells sell more than $1 million of war bonds in the United States during the Second World War.[1]

Wells lectured widely in the United States, Britain, Norway and Sweden. In 1942, he was a civilian orientation lecturer for servicemen about to go abroad.[1]

On 9 June 1946 the couple produced one of the world's first television shows, Geographically Speaking, which featured home movies of their travels. The show was not recorded, since recording technology did not yet exist. The series ended in December 1946, when the couple ran out of home movies.[23]

At the time of his death, in 1957, Wells and his wife were producing a local television show in New York, called Carveth Wells Explores the World.[1]

    1. The Governor having been lately informed by a vessel from Barbadoes bound to New England that a Spanish fleet is for certain appointed for the invading [of Bermuda] {here a line or two of text is lost at the top of the page.}
    2. [I] do conceive that it doth greatly concern all officers of these Islands to fortify [the Island?] against all foreign enemies as speedily as possibly we may. Whereupon it is [una]nimously consented unto and ordered at the Council Table that breastworks be cast up [in] such bays upon the Main or any other such means used as the Councillors, Captains, and other most judicious persons in the several Tribes shall pick upon in their judg[ment] to be most effectual for the opposing and repelling of an enemy in case of an[y ac]tion; And whatsoever order shall be published in the several Tribes in relation [to the] premises are to be by the Inhabitants carefully and speedily observed. But in [case?] the generality of the Inhabitants shall conceive that the work may be carried [out? at a] lesser charge by the way of an Assembly [i.e. vote?] rather than by the present order of the Governor and Council, it is this day ordered that their determinations be for this [occasion? as] signified[?] by the several Councillors to the Governor that he may with all expedition send warrants for the settling of an Assembly in relation to the premises, knowing full well that delays are the forerunner of unavoidable danger and ruin if not ——.
    3. It is likewise unaminously ordered that Capt. Christopher SMITH and Thomas WELLS together with such workmen as Thomas WELLS shall nominate shall be by warrant forthwith empowered to make[?] choice of such and so many trees as shall make 12 pair of wheels and carriages for ordnance for the use of the several forts and platforms at Towne or elsewhere, and that the said trees and timber be appraised by 12 indifferent men and the same paid for according to the order in the Book of Orders.

    c). Secondly, if there were sent sawyers and other workmen to make it fit for us[?] to Roanoak, we might be sufficiently furnished both with great timber, planks and pine masts[?] not only for shipping if they needed but for forts, provided we have vessels of our own to transport the workmen and supply the [means] to bring hither their workmanship, and at a far cheaper ra[te than in] England can be supplied from Norway.
    But some will haply say if you had shipping of your own [it would cause] a hindrance unto the Adventurers' trade in Sommer Isla[nds and the] Magazine ships may return unfreighted. We answer no, for there is a standing law which is diligently observed, that no Tobacco be exported out of these Islands until the Magazine ship be laden or refuse it. And for the Adventurers' trade we shall much enlarge it, had we vesssels of our own, by supplying other parts and petty plantations with the superfluities of their own cargos whereby they will be the sooner vended, make the better returns yearly, and the Magazine ship fuller freighted with more considerable commodities. And we humbly conceive that freeholders here may upon so good accompt dispose and sell their own timber. This we humbly present as our remonstrance according to our duty as we conceive tending unto the prosperity of the plantation the employment of our youth in navigation whereby in time they may be fitted [as in] England to serve His Majesty and their Country in places of more considerable employment. All these afore-expressed Acts, Aggrievances and Remonstrances was done and confirmed within the limited time of the Hon. Company this 28 Jan 1662.
