Joshua Slocum travelled at a period when the map still had blanks on it, and filled some of them.
The record lists Joshua Slocum as American navigator and maritime writer (1844-1909).
Joshua Slocum was born at Mount Hanley in 1844. His recorded nationality is United States.
Enlightenment expeditions carried naturalists and instruments; the Pacific was charted with chronometers and the intention of measuring, not merely claiming.
He is recorded as explorer, writer and seafarer.
The record of exploration is also a record of the people already living in the places reached.
Joshua Slocum died in 1909, aged 65. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
