Voyage of the Liberdade Summary
| Joshua Slocum's life aboard his sailing ship, the Aquidneck, forms the first part of this true adventure. Plying his trade along the coast of Brazil, Slocum encounters cholera and forced quarantine, a mutinous crew, and finally a shipwreck in 1886. He waits for help in Brazil; it doesn't come, so he and his family build the Liberdade, a 35' cross between a dory and sampan. They sail the "canoe," as he calls it, back to America. This was Slocum's first book. His better-known "Sailing Alone around the World" was his second. |
