Challenged by an expert who said it couldn't be done, Joshua Slocum, an indomitable New England sea captain, set out in April of 1895 to prove that a man could sail alone around the world. 46,000 miles and a little over 3 years later, the proof was complete. Captain Slocum had performed the epic "first" single-handedly in a trust 34-foot sloop called the "Spray." This is Slocum's own account of his remarkable adventures during the historic voyage.
