Captain Joshua Slocum, an experienced mariner, tells the thrilling
tale of the Liberdade and the great journey it made from South
America, through the Caribbean, and onto the United States. When
this book first appeared in 1890, it received wide praise for
authentically capturing the spirit of naval adventure and human
resourcefulness. At a time when ordinary sailing boats were fast
being obsoleted by faster vessels powered by steam engines, Captain
Slocum's recollections are testament that sea voyages were as
exciting as they ever were. The Liberdade was constructed from
materials salvaged from the locality of Brazil, where Slocum was
stranded at the time. The ship received its name as one day after
its launch, on May 14th 1888, slavery was abolished by the
Brazilian government. The fifty-five day voyage of Joshua Slocum
and his family back to the United States is chronicled in this
book, with the high and low points of their epic adventure
mentioned.
