 Around the World in Wanderer IIIEric
Hiscock
This classic sailing narrative tells the story of Eric Hiscock and his wife, Susan, who
in 1952 set out from Yarmouth, England, in their 30-foot sailing yacht Wanderer III. Just
under three years later they arrived back at Yarmouth, having circled the globe by way of
the West Indies, the Panama Canal, Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, South
Africa, Ascension, and the Azores, with many other ports of call en route. Despite gales
off Fiji and in the Indian Ocean, and unexpectedly troublesome calms in the Doldrums,
their voyage was accomplished according to plan; it is believed to be the first
circumnavigation ever made by so small a vessel with a crew of only two.
