[edit] Summary

The approximate positions of competitors in the 1968/69 Sunday Times Golden Globe Race as of January 19, 1969. Knox-Johnston was already round Cape Horn, with Moitessier — enjoying himself hugely — gaining steadily on him. Crowhurst was reporting a fake position well down the Atlantic, but was misunderstood as being past Cape Town.

This image was constructed from a public domain Visible Earth product of the Earth Observatory office of the United States government space agency NASA. It is based on a cylindrical equi-distant projection.
