The Fearless Navigator

In 1899, Howard Blackburn became the sixth person to sail solo from America. He sailed from Gloucester Massachusetts to Gloucester, England but what made his story more remarkable was that he had lost his fingers 15 years before through frostbite.

This one hour performance tells Blackburn's remarkable story from the losing of his fingers to his triumph of crossing the Atlantic.


"Amazing story of achievement and bravery. A truly forgotten hero.”
- Audience member

“The story was told with such soul you could hear a pin drop, from young to old we were captivated. I hope this hero’s story is told to many.”
- Audience member

“So brilliantly performed you can feel the cold"
​- Audience member
