Nova Scotia born, with family roots in New England,
Captain Slocum commanded some of the finest tall ships that ever sailed the
seas. On April 24, 1895, at the age of 51, he departed Boston in his tiny sloop
Spray and sailed around the world single-handed, a passage of 46,000 miles,
returning to Newport, Rhode Island on June 27, 1898. This historic achievement
made him the patron saint of small-boat voyagers, navigators and adventurers
all over the world. The Joshua Slocum Society International (JSSI) was unfortunately disbanded in July 2011. This site is being maintained for historical reasons. |
