It took her 516 days to do it, but 16 year old Laura Dekker completed her solo voyage around the world covering some 27,000 nautical miles.
She was only 14 when she set sail on the voyage, a voyage that began with much controversy where the Dutch government waged a legal battle in an attempt to stop the teen from making the trip fearing for her safety alone at sea.
Laura is now the youngest sailor to ever solo around the globe.
