Adventure (ship)
The ''Adventure'' was a sloop maritime fur trade ship built by the crew of Captain Robert Gray on his second voyage to the Northwest Coast of North America. The 45-ton sloop was built to allow the trading venture to access smaller inlets the ''Columbia'' could not reach. At the end of his second voyage Gray sold the ship to the Spanish Navy. It was renamed ''Orcacitas'' (also spelled ''Orcasitas'' or ''Horcasitas'') and served the Naval Department of San Blas for some years.
==Construction==
The skeleton of the craft was brought with the ''Columbia'' when it sailed from Boston in 1790.〔Scofield, John. ''Hail, Columbia: Robert Gray, John Kendrick and the Pacific Fur Trade''. Oregon Historical Society Press. 1993. p. 241〕 At Clayoquot Sound the crew of the ''Columbia'' built the winter quarters that were named Fort Defiance and also began construction of the ''Adventure''. The keel was laid on October 3, 1791 on Meares Island.〔Howay, Frederic W. ''Voyages of the Columbia to the Northwest Coast''. Boston: The Massachusetts Historical Society (1941), p. 248〕 Over the winter the ship slowly began to take shape.〔Howay, Frederic W., p. 227〕 Then on February 23, 1792, the ship was launched, but not without first getting stuck halfway down the ramp.〔Howay, Frederic W., p. 313-314, 276〕 Thus the first American built vessel on the Pacific was launched.〔Carey, Charles Henry. ''History of Oregon''. Vol. 1: Pioneer Historical Publishing Co.:Chicago. 1922. p. 139〕 The first non-indigenous vessel built on the Pacific Northwest coast was the ''North West America'', constructed in 1788 by Chinese labourers employed by British captain John Meares.〔
