Joshua Slocum was the first person to complete a solo circumnavigation in 1898.
The list includes about 260 individuals, who come from all over; Britain, US, Poland, Germany, France, Australia, South Africa and the list goes on. There are women and men, seniors and teens, and it started in 1894 when Joshua Slocum became the first person to sail around the entire world alone in his ketch, 'Spray.' (It took him 3 years!)
