Gerbault Alain (w1971)
- Description: In 1923, former tennis champion Alain Gerbault embarked on the first solo transatlantic crossing from east to west aboard the "Firecrest". It took him 101 days to cover the route from Gibraltar to New York. Although he was not the first to accomplish this feat, he was welcomed with full honors and received the "Blue Water Medal" from the Cruising Club of America. In 1924, he set off again for the South Seas: Bermuda, the Panama Canal, the Galapagos, Tahiti, Fiji, Réunion, St. Helena, Cape Verde, the Azores, eventually reaching Le Havre in 1929, thus completing his circumnavigation of the globe
