About Alan Villiers Books

Alan Villiers was in his early thirties when he realized his dream of sailing around the world with a group of young people to show them the values to be learned as part of a sailing-ship crew. He bought a little Danish ship, sailed her from Denmark to England, and renamed her Joseph Conrad in honor of the famous sailor and author of sea fiction. With a new captain and crew, the ship sailed from England in October 1934 and arrived at New York in December before continuing on to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, across the South Atlantic to Cape Town, South Africa, and on across the Indian Ocean and through the South Pacific before arriving back in New York in October 1936.
