Circumnavigators forming chapter in North Florida
If you’ve been around the world, there’s a place to meet your fellow travelers.
A chapter of The Circumnavigators Club is being formed in the Jacksonville area and there’s just one requirement: you have to have been around the world on one trip.
The international club traces its origin to 1902 when two men sailed around the globe and decided to start the club to share their experiences with others. Its early members included President William Howard Taft, Harry Houdini, William Jennings Bryan and John Phillip Sousa. Today’s membership includes many astronauts as well.
There are 14 chapters, including Palm Beach and Naples in Florida. The goal is to bring people together who are interested in world travel and the Northeast Florida area may have many who qualify. An introductory meeting in Ponte Vedra is planned for early April.
Information on the club is at circumnavigators.org. The local representative is Fred Seely, who can be reached at [email protected], or by calling (904) 465-6065.
