Description
In the summer of 1856, nineteen-year-old Mary Ann Patten and her husband Joshua, both from New England seafaring families, have already completed their first voyage around the world, with Joshua as captain. Their dream of building a home and family is almost within reach, but one final dangerous voyage remains: delivering supplies to the other side of the country by sailing all the way around South America. As their ship leaves New York, Joshua falls ill and is confined to his bunk, delirious. The treacherous first mate is imprisoned in the brig for insubordination, leaving no obvious candidate to command the vessel. Mary Ann steps into the breach, puts down a mutiny within days and attempts to steer the 216-foot clipper, carrying the modern equivalent of 11 million dollars in cargo, through Drake’s Passage and around Cape Horn, among the world’s most dangerous waters. To the Edge of the World tells the true story of a woman who does everything necessary to survive against impossible odds.
