Summary
Joshua Slocum was the first man to sail around the world alone in a small boat. He personally rebuilt an 11.2 metre sloop-rigged fishing boat that he named the Spray. On April 24, 1895, he set sail from Boston, Massachusetts. More than three years later, he returned to Newport, Rhode Island, on June 27, 1898 having circumnavigated the world, a distance of 46,000 miles.

An incredible tale of a rather uneventful three year trip around the world in the late 1800s! Amazing how casually this author recounted his journeys on what was a first ever accomplishment. I loved hearing these stories, especially from a perspective of 130+ years later. For a Librivox recording, the reader was the best I’ve ever heard.

This was a very interesting story, amazing that one man could achieve the trip on his own, deal with storms, “savages”, strange sightings etc. Good read
