This is the book reccomended in The Early Modern Guide for geography and we are 3 chapters in and the kids are loving it. I did a quick Pinterest search and came up with images of Joshua Slocum and of the <i>Spray. </i>I also came across a 45 minute long documentary on YouTube about his journey. I have not previewed it yet so no promises but I though I would post it here for anyone else who was interested.
