1898 - Joshua Slocum becomes the first man to sail single-handedly around the world in the Spray - a 36-foot-9-inch (11.20 m) oyster sloop.
"...on June 27, 1898, he returned to Newport, Rhode Island, having circumnavigated the world, a distance of more than 46,000 miles (74,000 km). Slocum's return went almost unnoticed. The Spanish-American War which had begun two months earlier dominated the headlines. After the end of major hostilities, many American newspapers published articles describing Slocum's amazing adventure."
