This lecture was originally presented at the Houston Maritime Museum October 18, 2012.
Captain Joshua Slocum was a "celebrated sailor and adventurer" who, in
1898, became the fi rst man to sail single-handedly around the world. His solo
circumnavigation trip took him three-years to complete and was carried out
aboard a 36-foot craft named the Spray.
After becoming bored with his monotonous shipyard work, Capt. Slocum
decided to rebuild the Spray which had fallen into disrepair board by board.
Once repaired, Capt. Slocum underwent his 46,000 mile journey around the
globe. This classic sea tale has inspired many others to duplicate his journey,
and took more than 25 years before another person completed the voyage.
Capt. Slocum later went on to publish a book and tour with the Spray where
he spoke about his adventures at sea.
Join Laurence and the Houston Maritime Museum in exploring this
unique piece of maritime culture!
