<p><strong>A new printing of a long-unavailable classic.</strong></p><p><strong><em>"I had only a moment to get all sail down and myself upon the peak halliards, out of danger, when I saw the mighty crest towering masthead high above me. The mountain of water submerged my vessel. She shook in every timber and reeled under the weight of the sea."</em></strong></p><p>What would it be like to sail alone around the world without GPS, radios, or modern technology? In 1895, Joshua Slocum did exactly that, embarking on a 46,000-mile solo circumnavigation aboard the Spray, a refitted oyster sloop. Over three years, he faced storms, pirates, hardship, and complete isolation.</p><p><br></p><p>Alone at Sea tells this extraordinary true story through Slocum's own words and the meticulous research of investigative reporter Ann Spencer. Drawing on journals, archives, photographs, and newly uncovered documents, Spencer created the first major biography of Slocum in over 40 years.</p><p>A compelling blend of adventure, maritime history, and personal courage, this is the story of one of sailing's greatest and most overlooked heroes.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>"Splendid... eloquent testimony to the continuing power of Slocum's inspiring example."</em></strong><br><strong>-- The Globe and Mail</strong></p>
