Mrs. Brassey entirely shares her husband's tastes and interests, and evidently is cut out for a traveler, and thus it came about that on July 1, 1876, they started in their magnificent steam yacht, the Sunbeam, for a tour of the world.… No reader of this book can fail to be pleased with it, and with the exquisite drawings by which Mr. Bingham has illustrated the singularly felicitous descriptions.

Annie, Lady Brassey (1839-1887) was an English travel writer and philanthropist best known for her vivid accounts of ocean journeys undertaken with her family. Her husband was a Civil Lord of the Admiralty who made many ocean voyages by steam yacht to test this new technology. Annie Brassey's description of these travels led to her becoming a best-selling author. This volume, first published in 1878, contains her lively and detailed account of her family's circumnavigation in the Sunbeam, the first circumnavigation of the world by a steam yacht. Written in the form of a diary and based on letters sent to her father, this volume mixes exotic descriptions with lively accounts of domestic life on board, and was immensely popular. The book illustrates the attitudes of middle-class Victorians to exotic locations and cultures.
