Oskar Speck (4. March 1907 – 27. March 1993) was a German canoeist who kayaked from Germany to Australia. He left Germany to seek work due to being an unemployed electrical contractor in Hamburg. He initially intended to kayak to Cyprus to work in the copper mines but ended up wanting to continue the journey through Southeast Asia and the Middle East to Australia. Oskar departed from Ulm, Germany in 1932 and arrived in Australia in 1939, at the beginning of the second world war. He was accused of being a spy and was imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp. When the war ended, Oskar was released from imprisonment and later became a successful opal merchant in Sydney.
