Description

A Voyage in the Sunbeam: A Family Sailing Around the World for Eleven Months

In 1876-7, a remarkable journey was undertaken by a family aboard their yacht, the Sunbeam. The trip, which lasted for eleven months, was documented in the book of the same name, written by the family's matriarch, Anna Brassey.

During their travels, the family collected many objects from the cultures they visited, which were later exhibited in a museum at Anna's London home. The book provides a fascinating account of their experiences and the people they met along the way.
