The voyage of the Liberdade tells the exciting journey of Joshua Slocum and his family from Brazil to the coasts of New York in a small open boat. After losing his ship, the Aquidneck, Slocum sold the remains, paid his crew and built a new boat to undertake this hard journey of more than 5,000 miles. This book tells a human adventure full of emotion and overcoming, where Slocum describes in detail every moment of the journey, allowing the reader to feel the intensity of the experience.
Joshua Slocum was the first person to sail single-handedly around the world. He was a Nova Scotian-born, naturalised American seaman and adventurer, and a noted writer. In 1900 he wrote a book about his journey, Sailing Alone Around the World, which became an international best-seller. He disappeared in November 1909 while aboard his boat, the Spray.
