Joshua Slocum's "Spray"
« on: April 02, 2014, 22:44:17 »
In homage to Joshua Slocum, we're trying to make a playmobil scale replica of his sloop "Spray" based on a 3174 ship

Joshua Slocum (February 20, 1844 – on or shortly after November 14, 1909) was the first man to sail single-handedly around the world. He was a Nova Scotian born, naturalised American seaman and adventurer, and a noted writer. In 1900 he wrote a book about his journey Sailing Alone Around the World, which became an international best-seller. He disappeared in November 1909 while aboard his boat, the Spray.
