''Sailing Alone Around the World'' (1900) is a sailing memoir by Joshua Slocum about his single-handed global circumnavigation aboard the sloop ''Spray''. Slocum was the first person to sail around the world alone. The book was an immediate success and highly influential in inspiring later travelers. ==Background== Captain Slocum was a highly experienced navigator and ship owner. He rebuilt and refitted the derelict sloop ''Spray'' in a seaside pasture at Fairhaven, Massachusetts over thirteen months between early 1893 and 1894. Between April 24, 1895 and June 27, 1898, Slocum, aboard the ''Spray'', crossed the Atlantic twice (to Gibraltar and back to South America), negotiated the Strait of Magellan, and crossed the Pacific. He also visited Australia and South Africa before crossing the Atlantic (for the third time) to return to Massachusetts after a journey of 46,000 miles.
