Anna ""Annie"" Brassey (n e Allnutt), Baroness Brassey (1839 -
1887) was an English traveller and writer. Her bestselling book A
Voyage in the Sunbeam, our Home on the Ocean for Eleven Months was
published in 1878. As a young woman, she also suffered from severe
burns when she stood too close to a fireplace and her skirt caught
fire; it took six months for her to recover. In 1860, she married
the English Member of Parliament Thomas Brassey, with whom she
lived near his Hastings constituency. The couple had five children
together before they travelled aboard their luxury yacht Sunbeam. A
Voyage in the Sunbeam, describing their journey round the world in
1876-77 with a complement of 43, including family, friends and
crew, [6] ran through many English editions and was translated into
at least five other languages. Her accounts of later voyages
include Sunshine and Storm in the East (1880);[7] In the Trades,
the Tropics, and the Roaring Forties (1885); and The Last Voyage
(1889, published posthumously).
