Harry Pidgeon's “Around the World Single-Handed”
It is interesting to compare Slocum to Pidgeon, and their boats. Slocum was the hard-bitten sea captain who'd come up through the hawsepipe, and who had fallen on hard times. His voyage was a way of fighting back, and he did a magnificent job of it. Harry Pidgeon seemed to breeze through life, guided by his sunny disposition.
