Lone Voyager: The Extraordinary Adventures of Howard Blackburn Hero Fisherman of GloucesterLike countless Gloucester fishermen before and since, Howard Blackburn and Tom Welch were trawling for halibut on the Newfoundland banks in an open dory in 1883 when a sudden blizzard separated them from their mother ship. Alone on the empty North Atlantic, they battled towering waves and frozen spray to stay afloat. Welch soon succumbed to exposure, and Blackburn did the only thing he could: He rowed for shore.

Like countless Gloucester fishermen before and since, Howard Blackburn and Tom Welch were trawling for halibut on the Newfoundland banks in an open dory in 1883 when a sudden blizzard separated them from their mother ship. Alone on the empty North Atlantic, they battled towering waves and frozen spray to stay afloat. Welch soon succumbed to exposure, and Blackburn did the only thing he could: He rowed for shore. He rowed five days without food or water, with his hands frozen to the oars, to reach the coast of Newfoundland. Yet his tests had only begun.So begins Joe Garland's extraordinary account of the hero fisherman of Gloucester. Incredibly, though Blackburn lost his fingers to his icy misadventure, he went on to set a record for swiftest solo sailing voyage across the Atlantic that stood for decades. Lone Voyager is a Homeric saga of survival at sea and a thrilling portrait of the world's most fabled fishing port in the age of sail.

Where have these watches been?
Color: Grey on Black Fabric
A wonderful looking and wearing (with some wee modifications)watch. I originally bought this watch with the textile band but soon discovered it was not a marriage made in heaven. I swapped the bracelet for a leather aftermarket deployment bracelet and it transformed the watch for me.

Great Swiss Watch
Color: Green on Stainless Steel
High build quality. Super smooth movement. I've found that it loses time a lot faster than many of my Japanese automatics. The color options are great, but I wish there was more bracelet color diversity. High quality steel doesn't scratch easily. The date complication is awesome.
