context_section_description: Born at Mount Hanley on February 20th, 1844. Joshua Slocum attended this school until the age of eight when he moved with his family to Brier Island. From humble beginnings emerged a superb seaman, destined to become the first person to sail alone around the world. His life epitomizes courage, determination honesty and the strength to live his dreams, squarely facing the challenges to achieve success. In his own words, “To succeed in anything at all, one should go understandingly about his work and be prepared for every emergency.” The Joshua Slocum Centennial Society of Nova Scotia to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of his epic voyage around the world in 1895 placed a memorial at the Schoolhouse Museum.
