On June 27, 1898, Captain Joshua Slocum made history by completing the first solo circumnavigation of the globe. Slocum, a seasoned sailor from Nova Scotia, embarked on this monumental journey aboard his sloop, Spray.

He set sail from Boston, Massachusetts, on April 24, 1895, navigating treacherous seas and enduring numerous hardships over a span of more than three years.

Slocum's voyage covered approximately 46,000 miles and proved the capabilities of solo navigation. His remarkable achievement is detailed in his book, "Sailing Alone Around the World," which has inspired countless adventurers.
