Description
Donald Crowhurst's ill-fated voyage was meant to showcase his innovative navigation device. Instead, it became a desperate attempt to deceive others and himself. In 1968, he entered the Sunday Times Golden Globe round the world sailing race, but his lack of experience soon caught up with him. As the months dragged on, Crowhurst's progress was slow, and he began to falsify his location through radio messages. The public saw him as a hero, while his family and friends were left in the dark. But on 10 July 1968, tragedy struck, and Crowhurst's fate remained a mystery. This book is a meticulous investigation into the events leading up to Crowhurst's disappearance, based on extensive interviews with those close to him and extracts from his logbooks. It reveals a tale of tragic self-delusion and public deception, shedding light on one of the greatest maritime mysteries of all time.
