It is a wonderful adventure story from the Age of Sail and a book of which Arthur Ransome declared, "boys who do not like this book ought to be drowned at once". In 1899 he described the voyage in Sailing Alone Around the World now considered a classic of travel literature.
More than three years later, he returned to Newport, Rhode Island, on Jhaving circumnavigated the world, a distance of 46,000 miles (74,000 km). On April 24, 1895, he set sail from Boston, Massachusetts. He personally rebuilt an 11.2 metre sloop-rigged fishing boat that he named the Spray. Joshua Slocum was the first man to sail around the world alone in a small boat. Sailing Alone Around the World chronicles Slocums three-year journey, beginning in 1895.
