商品簡介
Sailing Alone Around the World is Captain Joshua Slocum's classic memoir of becoming the first person to sail solo around the globe. Published in 1900, the book chronicles his epic 46,000-mile, three-year voyage aboard the restored 37-foot sloop, the Spray. It is a legendary tale of maritime adventure, courage, and self-reliance. Challenged by an expert who said it couldn't be done, Joshua Slocum, an indomitable New England sea captain, set out in April 1895 to prove that one man could sail alone around the world. A little over three years later, the historic proof was complete. Dodging Moorish pirates off Gibraltar, fleeing hostile native canoes, and surviving raging tempests and treacherous coral reefs, this timeless travel narrative recounts Slocum's remarkable adventures and perils on the high seas.
