Mystery was a Mount's Bay lugger which made a voyage to Australia in 1854/55.

[1] The boat was prepared for the long sea voyage by covering the hull in zinc, and adding decking fore and aft.

[1] Five days were spent at Cape Town repairing Mystery and replenishing supplies.

They had made such good time to Cape Town that the Royal Mail commissioned them to take post on to Australia.

[4] The crew who made the voyage were Richard Badcock, William Badcock, Charles Boase, Job Kelynack, Lewis Lewis, Philip Curnow Matthews and Richard Nicholls (captain).

[4] In 2008, yachtsman Pete Goss commissioned Cornish boat designer and builder Chris Rees to build a replica of the Mystery with the intention of recreating the journey.
