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. This website is our attempt to maintain a complete record of all single-handed circumnavigators, to popularize the legendary first solo circumnavigator, Captain Joshua Slocum, and offer membership in the Joshua Slocum Society International. The world wide web is the ideal place to record, and to keep up-to-date, the growing list of the heroic sailors who have accomplished the feat of sailing around the world alone and to document the details of their vessels and voyages. If you are planning on attempting a solo circumnavigation, please complete and submit "Registration and Documentation of Solo Circumnavigators" and we will document your progress on our Circumnavigation Attempts in Progress page where you can follow others sailing around the world.
