FELICITY ANN is the 23' wooden boat sailed by the first woman to make a single-handed Atlantic crossing in 1952-53. This slideshow details the adventurous life of FELICITY ANN's record-breaking British sailor, Ann Davison (1914-1992), and how her boat ended up in Port Hadlock to begin a new life as a sailing platform to inspire and empower us all—but especially women and girls.
