Spirit of Mystery
is a replica 37ft Mount’s Bay lugger. 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 fishing lugger (that had never been out of sight of land), arrived in Melbourne, 12,000 miles away. That’s approximately 103 miles a day! Built by Chris Rees in 2008, Mystery was then skippered by Pete Goss and replicated the original voyage. Now owned by Dan Johnson and Charlotte Watters and based in Loch Broom, Ullapool.
