Description: "The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst," by Nicholas Tomalin and Ron Hall. Riveting account for the bizarre lost (and last) voyage of amateur sailor and adventurer Donald Crowhurst, who craved fame and competed in the 1968-69 Sunday Times Golden Globe Race around the world, single man ship race. After Crowhurst's 40-foot trimaran, the Teignmouth Electron, took on water, Crowhurst secretly abandoned the race, faking his coordinates, so as to repair his ship. He eventually grew mad at sea, leaving behind a rambling, philosophical account of his voyage in which he wrestles with himself and God. He is believed to have committed suicide, the Teignmouth Electron later discovered sailing as a ghost ship. Fascinating tale. Book is in good condition with the average wear of a used book. Pages unmarked. Please see photos for condition. As is. No returns.
