Jessica Watson

Jessica Watson was not your typical ocean explorer. Compared to others she is very different.

She didn’t go out searching for things or discover anything new. Where as other explorers actually go out looking for certain things.

Although she had many years of experience and safety courses, Jessica Watson did not go to college. In fact, she was the youngest person to solo circumnavigate the globe starting when she was 16 and ending her journey 3 days after she turned 17. Other oceanic explorers have many years in college with multiple degrees and decades of experience.

Jessica Watson went solo on her trip, but other oceanic explorers often have a team.
