Joshua started his journey on 26th April, 1895 from Boston on a 36 feet long boat called’Spray’. He was the first man to travel across the sea in a small boat for three years all alone.
Captain Joshua was a rare adventurer, who decided to sail across the
sea all alone in an old boat. His decision was incidental. Once in 1892,
he had gone to his friend’s place in Boston. There he saw a boat
lying useless since the last seven years. Suddenly 48-year-old Joshua
behaved like a youth of 20. He decided to sail across the sea in that
boat. However, before embarking on his adventure, he repaired the boat
and for many days, he did fishing on this boat so as to acclimatize the
boat with the sea.
