| Found in | Desperate voyage, 2016: t.p. (Donald Crowhurst) Wikipedia, viewed January 13, 2017 (Donald Charles Alfred Crowhurst (1932-1969) was a British businessman and amateur sailor who died while competing in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, a single-handed, round-the-world yacht race. Crowhurst had entered the race in hopes of winning a cash prize from The Sunday Times to aid his failing business. Instead, he encountered difficulty early in the voyage, and secretly abandoned the race while reporting false positions, in an attempt to appear to complete a circumnavigation without actually circling the world. Evidence found after his disappearance indicates that this attempt ended in insanity and suicide.) LC database, January 13, 2017 (hdg.: Crowhurst, Donald, 1932-) |
