Sailing Alone Around the World HC

Sailing Alone Around the World is cartoonist Jon Buller’s adaptation of Joshua Slocum’s eponymous memoir. In April of 1895, Captain Slocum took off from Boston aboard a 36 foot wooden sloop that he renovated himself and proceeded to sail around the world — a three-year voyage of more than 46,000 miles!—becoming the first person to single-handedly circle the globe. Upon his return, he wrote a memoir of his voyage recounting his adventures—hair-raising encounters with pirates off Gibraltar, raging tempests and treacherous coral reefs— which is brought to vivid graphic life by cartoonist Jon Buller.
