Historical mysteries inspired by Captain Joshua Slocum
On November 14, 1909, sixty-five-year-old Captain Joshua Slocum sailed from Martha's Vineyard aboard the Spray—the small vessel that had carried him solo around the world. He never returned.
No confirmed wreckage. No body. No definitive explanation.
The Joshua Slocum Historical Mysteries begins with the documented record and imagines what history cannot reveal. Lost pages, distant waters, and buried secrets lead back to one of the sea's most enduring disappearances.
A Legacy of Adventure
Slocum’s extraordinary voyage around the world alone continues to inspire the spirit of discovery woven throughout these stories. Drawing on the challenges of nineteenth-century seafaring, coastal communities, and the uncharted feel of life at sea, the series blends authentic period detail with imaginative adventures that bring the past vividly to life.
