Walt Williams was a pioneering sailor and circumnavigator who lived a life of adventure and exploration. From his early days as a young boy growing up on the coast of Maine to his daring solo circumnavigation of the globe, Walt's story is one of courage, determination, and a deep love for the sea.
Walt was born in 1929 in Belfast, Maine. His father was a lobsterman, and Walt grew up helping him on the boat. From a young age, Walt developed a love for the sea and a thirst for adventure.

In the years after his circumnavigation, Walt continued to sail and explore. He made several more voyages around the world, and he also sailed to the Arctic and Antarctic. He wrote several books about his adventures, and he lectured extensively about the importance of ocean conservation.
