''Spirit of Mystery'' is a replica of the Mount's Bay lugger ''Mystery'' which made a voyage to Australia in 1854/55. In 1854 a discussion in the Star Inn in Newlyn led seven fishermen to set sail in the hope of finding their fortunes. 116 days later, their Cornish lugger, ''Mystery'', a 37 ft fishing boat that had never previously been out of sight of land, arrived in Melbourne, 12,000 miles away. ==Construction== ''Spirit of Mystery'' was built at Millbrook by Chris Rees for Pete Goss. Construction took ten months.〔 She is a replica of ''Mystery'', which made a return voyage to Australia in 1854–55. ''Spirit of Mystery'' was launched on 21 June 2008. Incorporated into ''Spirit of Mystery'' is wood from ''Cutty Sark'', and HMS ''Victory'', with some of the rigging coming from SS ''Great Britain''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SPIRIT OF MYSTERY HITS THE WAVES )〕 Construction of ''Spirit of Mystery'' closely followed the design of the original luggers. The only concessions to modernity are watertight bulkheads and heavier ballast. Electrics have been fitted as it is a legal requirement to have navigation lights. An engine has been fitted but will not be used on the journey to Australia. Internally, oil lamps will be used, and navigation will be by the sun and stars, although a satellite tracking device allows the progress of ''Spirit of Mystery'' to be followed on the internet. As on the original ''Mystery'', a coke stove is installed. However, the diet and clothing of the crew are to modern standards, and there is a toilet and gas cooker on board.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=June 2008 – Pete Goss Mystery trip to Australia )〕
