|
| rdfs:comment | - "The Adventure of the Gloria Scott", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. This story is related mainly by Holmes rather than Watson, and is the first case to which Holmes applied his powers of deduction, having treated it as a mere hobby until this time.
- Although the story is presented as having been written by Holmes' friend Dr. John Watson, unusually for a Sherlock Holmes story, the main narrator of "The Adventure of the Gloria Scott" is not Watson but Holmes himself. The story begins with Holmes showing Watson some papers which he thinks might be of interest to him. Holmes says that the papers relate to the first case that he ever investigated as a detective. The story has been adapted for television and radio.

This story is related mainly by Holmes rather than Watson, and is the first case to which Holmes applied his powers of deduction, having treated it as a mere hobby until this time.
- Although the story is presented as having been written by Holmes' friend Dr. John Watson, unusually for a Sherlock Holmes story, the main narrator of "The Adventure of the Gloria Scott" is not Watson but Holmes himself. The story begins with Holmes showing Watson some papers which he thinks might be of interest to him. Holmes says that the papers relate to the first case that he ever investigated as a detective. The majority of the story takes place during Sherlock Holmes' time as a university student. While Holmes is visiting the home of his friend Victor Trevor, a sinister looking man called Hudson appears and asks to speak to Victor Trevor's father. It becomes clear that Hudson knows something which gives him a great deal of power over Mr. Trevor. It is ultimately revealed that Mr. Trevor has a dark secret related to events which took place on a ship called the Gloria Scott some thirty years earlier. The story has been adapted for television and radio.
