Synopsis

Joshua Slocum's epic solo voyage around the world in 1895 in the 37-foot sloop Spray stands as one of the greatest sea adventures of all time. Starting from Boston in 1895, by the time he dropped anchor in Newport, Rhode Island over three years after his journey began, he had cruised some 46,000 miles entirely by sail and entirely alone. It remains one of the major feats of single-handed voyaging, and has since been the inspiration for the many who have gone to sea in small boat."

Media Reviews
'It is a timeless work that can be read again and again, and a story that totally absorbs the reader with it's enormity and honest endeavour' RNSA Journal; 'Slocum's prose is a model of its kind: honest, vivid, salty, and at times, lyrical' Traditional Boats and Tall Ships; 'One of the all-time classic sailing narratives' Classic Boat
Author Bio
Joshua Slocum, a Massachusetts merchant, lived a long and adventurous life at sea. He became a legend by being the first person to sail around the globe alone in 1895 in a 37-foot sloop, Spray, that he rebuilt himself from a derelict oyster sloop. He is possibly the best known single-handed sailor ever to have lived.
