The Dove is a 1974 American-British biographical film directed by Charles Jarrott. The picture was produced by Gregory Peck, the third and last feature film he produced.
The drama is based on the real-life experiences of Robin Lee Graham, a young man who spent five years sailing around the world as a single-handed sailor, starting when he was 16 years old. The story is adapted from Dove (1972), the book Graham co-wrote with Derek L.T. Gill about his seafaring experiences.
