Jessica Watson (born 18 May 1993) is an Australian sailor who was awarded the Order of Australia Medal after completing a solo circumnavigation at the age of 16. Departing Sydney on 18 October 2009, Watson headed north-east, crossing the equator in the Pacific Ocean before crossing the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. She returned to Sydney on 15 May 2010, three days before her 17th birthday, though the voyage was ultimately shorter than the required 21,600 nautical miles (40,000 km) to be considered a global circumnavigation by the World Sailing Speed Record Council. In recognition of her voyage Watson was named the 2011 Young Australian of the Year, and the following year was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia. She currently resides in Melbourne.
