作者简介

Joshua Slocum was the first man to sail around the world alone. Born April 20th 1844, he first went to sea in 1860. He sailed from Boston on April 24th, 1895 (at the age of 51), and by the time he dropped anchor in Rhode Island over three years later he had circumnavigated the world, a distance of 46,000 miles entirely by sail and entirely alone. He was lost at sea November 1909. His course was into an Atlantic gale, and neither he nor his boat Spray was seen or heard of later.
