Sailing Alone Around the World by Joshua Slocum
"Sailing Alone Around the World" by Joshua Slocum is a sailing memoir published in 1900 about his solo circumnavigation of the globe aboard the sloop Spray. Slocum became the first person to sail around the world alone, covering 46,000 miles over three years. His journey took him through treacherous straits, across vast oceans, and past hostile shores. The book recounts adventures including fierce gales, navigation challenges, encounters with pirates and indigenous peoples,
and the sailor's ingenious solutions to solitary seafaring. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
