Goss, 45, who is building his replica craft at a boatyard in Cornwall, hopes to set off in October from the port of Newlyn, where the original Mystery departed. He is hoping to launch Spirit of Mystery in June.

Oak from local woodlands has also been used to build the boat for the adventure, which Goss said began "with an idea and a chainsaw".

The chart table, made from a four-foot long piece of ash beam from the Victory, also contains a piece of one of her thousands of copper rivets and will be used by Goss to plot his way across the world.

Part of the rigging from Isambard Kingdom Brunel's SS Great Britain is also being used.
