We don't know why Slocum disappeared. Casady It is my firm belief that, when his time came, he was taken up to heaven and instituted as the patron saint of solo sailors. I have prayed to him in my time of need and sacrificed a can of chicken sausages and he helped me survive very bad weather. That's all the proof I need. Peter It is well known (by us real sailors, at least) that Capt. Slocum was lost in a gale off Martha's Vineyard. "On November 14, 1909 he was sailing off Martha's Vineyard when a gale came up.
