==Slocum's fate?== |

*Writer [[Edward Rowe Snow]] claimed that Slocum was run down at night by a mail steamer near Turtle Island, Lesser Antillies. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/134.53.145.212|134.53.145.212]] ([[User talk:134.53.145.212|talk]]) 11:06, 23 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

==Pronunciation== |
|||
Does anyone know how to pronounce "Slocum"? Is it "SLOCK-um" or "SLOAK-um"? |
|||
Hello fellow Wikipedians, |
|||
:Everyone I have ever heard say it says the latter, SLOAK-um or SLOKE-um. That includes people whose last name's are Slocum. These are people from New England anyway, perhaps there are regional differences. [[User:Glippy00|Glippy00]] 05:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC) |

I have just modified one external link on [[Joshua Slocum]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=777579664 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes: |
|||
==Newport== |
|||
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070909060506/http://ns1763.ca/digbyco/slocumjmem.html to http://ns1763.ca/digbyco/slocumjmem.html |
|||
I assume [[Newport]] was [[Newport, Rhode Island]]. It isn't one of the Newports in Great Britain, is it? -- [[User:Zoe|Zoe]] |

:There is also a [[Newport, Oregon]], a [[Newport, Washington]] and [[Newport Beach, California]] which makes more sense if he was sailing around the world. --[[User:Maveric149|mav]] |

==Yankee== |

Slocum claims in (Sailing Alone) that he considers himself a Yankee. Is this worth mentioning? I like calling him Canadian, but if he didn't call himself Canadian I don't know if it's entirely proper. [[User:Aarchiba|Andrew]] 10:18, Apr 12, 2004 (UTC) |
|||
== Later biography == |
|||
==Nova Scotia== |
|||
There is a more recent major biography (2017), which is highly regarded by nautical historian acquaintances (though outside my field), apparently drawing on newly available family material and other previous overlooked sources. No doubt this will help interested editors improve this article. |
|||
Nova Scotia was not a province of Canada in 1844.--jglees |

|||
And as Nova Scotian is not a nationality and as he was born a british subject, it would be most correct to describe him as Brithish-born. However, that description may be misleading to some and totally unnecessary (there is no reason to include that fact about British Imperial nationality law), and thus, in conformity with the Chambers Biographical Dictionary, we should simply refer to him as American, and appellation, in the geographical sense if not always in the national sense, that he had borne since birth.--jglees |

|||
:plus it says later in the article that he was born in Nova Scotia, a fact not being overlooked or ignored, I agree it is too confusing to try and say where he was born and what his nationality was (unrelated bits of info) in one sentence. -- [[User:Stbalbach|Stbalbach]] 13:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:Added to article. (but sold out, my bookseller says :-( ) -[[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 14:58, 22 November 2019 (UTC) |
|||
== From where? == |
|||
"In November 1909 he set sail for the Orinoco River in Spray and disappeared." - Set sail from where? -- [[User:201.51.252.63|201.51.252.63]] 21:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC) |
|||
== Pronounce Slocum == |
|||
In Britain it is pronounced as Slowcum. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/81.98.46.224|81.98.46.224]] ([[User talk:81.98.46.224|talk]]) 23:48, 25 January 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned --> |
|||
== Sloop or Yawl == |
|||
The spray was rigged as a Yawl during the circumnavigation. Was it sloop-rigged when he went missing, as the first paragraph seems to say? |
|||
== 46000 miles == |
|||
I doubt the 74000km as an equivalent for 46000m as the latter probably are nautical miles, with an equivalent of about 1.8km. Could anybody please clarify this. Thank you [[User:194.246.46.15|194.246.46.15]] 14:05, 27 June 2007 (UTC) |
|||
== Bad part of his life == |
|||
I remember reading somewhere that in middle-age he was prosecuted for indecently assulting a young woman. Not mentioned. |
