NEW RISING Industry OF OFFSHORE SAILING SPRAY-TOPS Industry

The spray was a 11.20 m long oyster sloop that Joshua Slocum rebuilt and sailed single-handedly around the world, the first voyage of its kind. The spray was lost with Captain Slocum on board sometime on or after November 14, 1909 after he sailed from Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts to South America.

In 1892 a friend, Captain Eben Pierce, offered Slocum a ship "wanting some repairs". Slocum went to Fairhaven, Massachusetts to find that the "ship" was a rotting old oyster sloop called Spray that was propped up in a field. Despite the ship's major overhaul, Slocum kept her name, Spray, remarking, "Well, it's a law at Lloyd's that the Jane fixed everything from the old until she's brand new, is still the Jane."

His days as a fishing boat, likely an oyster man in Chesapeake Bay, had come to an end in 1885, and it was a dilapidated, slowly deteriorating hull that sat in a makeshift ship's cradle on a coastal meadow at Poverty Point in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, as captain Pierce of this town offered it as a gift to Joshua Slocum. Slocum came to Fairhaven to look at the spray, and he committed to repairing and reinstalling it over the next thirteen months. The materials used for the repairs cost $ 553.62, which is $ 15,754 in 2019.
