David Thoreson is a photographer, environmentalist, writer and activist who took a 57-foot sailboat from Seattle to Seattle, circumnavigating both American continents. He took thousands of photos and many hours of video along the way. Here's a quote from Summit Daily:

Thoreson was the photographer and videographer on the trip. He took more than 70,000 still images and 100 hours of high-definition video, which have been transformed into a new photo book, “One Island, One Ocean,” and an hour-long documentary recently nominated for an Emmy.
One Island, One Ocean: The Epic Environmental Journey Around the Americas
His book is now available on Amazon. It's quite the amazing book with full descriptions and locations. The book tells two stories: sailing around the continents and the issues of climate change. Whether you agree with that or not, there are some amazing photos of a world changing as it has changed throughout history.
The Amazon site has a list of all the landfalls that Thoreson and his crew experienced.
"The ship made landfall in 53 places around the continents and did presentations and outreach in each. In many of these places, there are potential special sales opportunities (museums, yacht clubs, educational centers). Places visited include: Seattle (starting point), British Columbia, Alaska, The Yukon Territories, The Northwest Territories, Nunavet, Newfoundland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, South Carolina, Florida, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, French Guiana, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, The Falklands, Chile, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Mexico, California, Oregon. . . and, back to Seattle."
