Around the World Single-Handed by Harry Pidgeon c1950 No: 12 in the Mariners Library
Harry Pidgeon built his 34-foot yawl, Islander, by hand and then sailed her into the history books. This inspiring memoir recounts his first solo circumnavigation, a four-year voyage completed between 1921 and 1925. Relying on sheer determination and traditional seamanship, Pidgeon chronicles his encounters with remote islands, tropical squalls, and the solitude of the open ocean. A true classic of single-handed sailing, the book captures the romance and reality of self-reliance on the high seas.
