Synopsis
Slocum's account of his epic round-the-world voyage in 1895 in the 37-foot sloop "Spray", remains as one of the major feats of single-handed voyaging. Starting from Boston on April 24th, 1895, Slocum crossed the Atlantic to Gibraltar only to discover that he would have to change his route. He then crossed the Atlantic a second time, following Magellan's course southwestwards, sailed through the Strait, traversed the Pacific and Indian Oceans, rounded the Cape of Good Hope and crossing the Atlantic the third time, dropped anchor at Newport, Rhode Island on June 27th 1898. He had cruised some 46,000 miles entirely by sail and entirely alone - much of the time with the wheel lashed while he sat below reading or cooking or mending his clothes.
