THE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE AND EPIC JOURNEY OF JOSHUA SLOCUM
The career of Joshua Slocum, one of the 19th Century's most successful sea captains, collapsed with the end of the Age of Sail...until he was given a 100 year old rotting oyster boat and decided to use it to become the first person ever to sail around the world - alone.
This program is a must-see for students and educators, history buffs, and anyone who enjoys a good sailing adventure
Winner of the Gold Special Jury Award--Houston Film Festival
The Extraordinary Life and Epic Journey of Joshua Slocum depicts the life and career of the independent sailor, from his birth in Nova Scotia in 1844 to his ultimate mysterious disappearance post-circumnavigation in 1909. Beautifully shot and artfully narrated, the program shows Slocum as a runaway teen, a sea captain in the days of square riggers, an outrunner of pirates, outsmarter of natives and the original "roughin' it" type travel writer.
Like Slocum's own writings, this program delights and inspires, interviewing sailors and historians alike. It shows modern-day copies of Slocum's ship, the Spray, follows their builders as they tell not only Slocum's story, but their own tales of rereating his historic passage. An educational inspiration that leaves a taste of salt in your mouth, this program will not only make you yearn for the sea, but truly understand and appreciate Slocum's ardor and the changing times through which he lived.
Curriculum Content Areas: History, Geography, Social Studies
