Sailing Alone Around the World

Sailing Alone Around the World is a memoir by Joshua Slocum, a prominent traveler, and explorer. It was published in 1900. The book highlights his single-handed global circumnavigation aboard the sloop Spray. Joshua Slocum was the first person to sail around the world alone, so no wonder the book was an immediate success and highly influential in inspiring later travelers. It presents a huge interest to a modern reader either.
