BIO SLOCUM: THE HARD WAY AROUND: The Passages of Joshua Slocum; by Geoffrey Wolff

 

Here is a biography that reads like an adventure story.  Slocum, a master sailor, left Gloucester in 1895 and spent the next three years sailing around the world – alone -  in a 36-foot sailboat.  This wonderful biography tells about his personal as well as maritime adventures, right up until he was last seen off Martha’s Vineyard in 1908.  For all sailing and adventure enthusiasts.
