SAILING ALONE AROUND THE WORLD and THE VOYAGE OF THE LIBERDADE
(With a new introduction by Anthony Brandt.) Joshua Slocum (February 20, 1844 – on or shortly after 14 November 1909) was a Canadian-American seaman and adventurer, a noted writer, and the first man to sail single-handedly around the world. In 1900 he told the story of this in Sailing Alone Around the World. He disappeared in November 1909 while aboard his boat, the Spray, originally sloop-rigged, but re-rigged as a yawl in the midst of his circumnavigation, while Slocum was traversing the Strait of Magellan. Maps, diagrams, illustrations. A must for every ocean going yachtie's library.
