![]() ![]() The film is beautifully shot and artfully narrated, depicting Slocum's life as a runaway teen, a sea captain in the days of square riggers, a loving husband and father, an outrunner of pirates, outsmarter of natives, and the original "roughin' it" type travel writer. Rowe's documentary fleshes out this independant yankee sailor, following his life from his birth in Nova Scotia- to his ultimate mysterious disappearance post-circumnavigation in 1909. Slocum's must read classic account of his trip was first published in 1900 and has been in print ever since. ![]() Peter Rowe must have had a GREAT time making this documentary, which serves as an excellent addendum to Slocum's world famous book "Sailing Alone Around the World". ![]()
