Embark on the adventure of Joshua Slocum, a merchant sailor who decided to sail around the world alone aboard his sailboat Spray. This book narrates his incredible journey of 46,000 miles, crossing the Atlantic three times and demonstrating the exceptional seafaring qualities of his boat. Discover how Slocum became a master for sailors, who envied the Spray's ability to stay on course with the balance of its sails. An inspiring story about courage and determination on the high seas.
Joshua Slocum was the first person to sail single-handedly around the world. He was a Nova Scotian-born, naturalised American seaman and adventurer, and a noted writer. In 1900 he wrote a book about his journey, Sailing Alone Around the World, which became an international best-seller. He disappeared in November 1909 while aboard his boat, the Spray.
