Joshsua Slocum spent a lifetime at sea. He ran away from his Nova
Scotia home at the age of 14 and for the next 35 years he sailed
the world holding every shipboard rank. When a ship under his
command was wrecked on the coast of Brazil in 1887, it seemed that
his maritime career had ended in disgrace. Not one for retiring to
earthly pastures, Slocum rebuilt a hundred- year-old sloop and set
off for Boston in 1895 on the first single-handed circumnavigation
of the globe. For more than three years Slocum battled stormy seas,
attacks from raiders and pirates and, of course, loneliness. He
crossed the Atlantic no fewer than three times, spent weeks
thrashing against the elements around Cape Horn, and found shelter
in numerous exotic harbours. Sailing Alone around the World is the
extraordinary story of one man's courage and resourcefulness, and
has an enduring and universal appeal as a landmark of world
adventure. Stanfords Travel Classics feature some of the finest
historical travel writing in the English language, with authors
hailing from both sides of the Atlantic. Every title has been reset
in a contemporary typeface to create a series that every lover of
fine travel literature will want to collect and keep.
