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.

Is this a joke?
Color: Cream, Size: Large, Color: Cream, Size: Large
Is this a joke? I just opened a package that was sold as new, but nowhere on the purchase did it say it was refurbished or used. It looks obviously worn, yet it was sold to me as new. This should have been given to me for free. There are permanent stains on it and fresh hair all around the neck area, and I don’t have hair — I’m bald. Please see the pictures and my video. I just opened the pack, and it looked refolded and packaged as if fresh from someone else’s laundry.

Great Quality Shirt That Looks More Expensive
Color: Cream, Size: Medium
This is my 2nd COOFANDY purchase for my husbands wardrobe! Really impressed with this Knit Button Down Textured Polo Shirt. The material feels soft and breathable, and the textured design gives it a more elevated look than a basic polo. It fits well, looks great dressed up or casual, and is perfect for vacations, dinners, or summer events. Excellent quality for the price.
