Book
Sailing alone around the world / Joshua Slocum ; with an introduction and notes by Dennis A. Berthold ; illustrated by Thomas Fogarty and George Varian ; George Stade, consulting editorial director.
"In April 1895, at the age of fifty-one, Joshua Slocum departed Boston in his thirty-six-foot sloop Spray, a derelict boat he had rebuilt himself. Three years and 46,000 miles later, he returned, having accomplished one of the geratest feats in maritime history--to become the first person to circumnavigate the globe single-handedly. To crown his achievement, Slocum wrote this remarkable account of his voyage." -- back cover.
