The Spray was Joshua Slocum's sloop that he rebuilt from a shell of a boat. The Spray was a thirty-seven-foot gaff oyster boat that would prove to be the perfect vessel for the three-year voyage around the world, crossing the Atlantic twice and following Magellan's route. It was a metaphor for freedom.
