Synopsis
Full of astounding adventures, Sailing Alone around the World is the true story of the first man ever to circle the globe alone entirely by sea. In a little over three years, Captain Joshua Slocum completed the feat many experts believed couldn't be done--and he has the stories to prove it. During his historic voyage, Slocum was chased by pirates in Gibraltar, soaked by a "rain of blood" in Australia, and battered by perilous storms in the open ocean. He also met many famous--and infamous--people along the way, from Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson in Samoa, to Black Pedro, "the worst murderer in Tierra del Fuego." This absorbing tale, written with humor and poetic eloquence, was first published in 1900 and has remained in print ever since.

    This is the second purchase I made from this seller, and they have quickly become an e-bay favorite! The shipping was SUPER fast, the packaging was carefully rendered, and the DVD itself was in BEAUTIFUL condition. Like my last purchase, the DVD was brand new and still encased in shrink wrap. What an amazing seller! I cannot recommend them highly enough. Also, it feels nice to support an organization who is helping our marginalized communities. Thank you for everything!

    Great seller. I only received shipping label and letter from USPS that package was destroyed in system and item lost. Seller wasn’t obligated to process refund but did so after I emailed them pictures of what I received. Can truly recommend this seller to everyone. Superb customer service!
