\nAmerican de origine canadian\u0103, Slocum a fost un spirit aventuros, care, dup\u0103 ceva ucenicie pe mare \u015fi dup\u0103 ce urc\u0103 \u00een grad p\u00e2n\u0103 la rangul de \u015fef de echipaj, a ales s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 pe mare timp de 13 ani, \u00eencep\u00e2nd cu 1871; tocmai se c\u0103s\u0103torise, iar \u00een toat\u0103 aceast\u0103 perioad\u0103 i s-au n\u0103scut, pe ap\u0103, \u015fapte copii.<\/p>\n
\nO serie de necazuri – o epidemie la bordul navei, un al doilea mariaj, un atac al pira\u0163ilor – l-au transformat \u00eentr-un singuratic care \u015fi-a reparat singur vasul cu care a f\u0103cut, timp de trei ani, ocolul lumii, vas primit \u00een dar de la un c\u0103pitan din Fairhaven, Massachusetts. \u015ei-a construit singur instrumente rudimentare de naviga\u0163ie, care i-au permis, totu\u015fi, s\u0103 stabileasc\u0103 mici recorduri – a navigat \u00een Pacific 2.000 de mile f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 ating\u0103 c\u00e2rma. \u015ei mai trebuie spus c\u0103 dincolo de liniile sale clasice, de vas desenat cumva copil\u0103re\u015fte – coca trapezoidal\u0103, un catarg \u015fi dou\u0103 p\u00e2nze – Spray era un vas perfect echilibrat, iar forma sa se apropia c\u00e2t se poate de mult de cea a vasului perfect.<\/p>\n
\nAp\u0103rut\u0103 \u00een 1900, cartea lui Slocum devine un succes, iar acesta a \u00eencercat s\u0103 devin\u0103 un \u201dp\u0103m\u00e2ntean\u201e, pentru c\u0103 \u015fi-a cump\u0103rat o ferm\u0103. A dat faliment \u015fi la 65 de ani se \u00eentoarce pe mare. Povestea sa nu se putea termina altfel: Slocum \u015fi Spray au disp\u0103rut \u00een noiembrie 1909 \u00een Triunghiul Bermudelor.
