The '''''Wandersail''''' is a legendary ship on [[Roshar]].
+
The '''''Wandersail''''' was a possibly fictional ship on the world of [[Roshar]].
   
It was captained by [[Derethil]], who had the ship built to travel through [[highstorm]]s. The ship sailed into the open ocean in an attempt to find the origin of the [[Voidbringers]]. It was shipwrecked on a ring of islands in the middle of the ocean that surrounded a giant whirlpool "where, it is said, the ocean drains".
+
It was captained by [[Derethil]], who had it built to travel through [[Highstorm]]s. It was nearly destroyed, shipwrecked on an island in the middle of the ocean ([[Uvara]]), by a giant whirlpool "where, it is said, the ocean drains" and later it is mentioned that it was fixed in the Uvara shipyards. Eventually, Derethil and his remaining crew left on the Wandersail, using the momentum of the whirlpool to get them away from it.
   
  +
The story of Derethil and the Wandersail was told to [[Kaladin]] by [[Hoid]].{{book ref|sa1|57}} The tale appears to be known in [[Thaylenah]] as well, as [[Vstim]] gifts a [[Wandersail (1174 ship)|newly built ship]] named after the ''Wandersail'' to his former apprentice [[Rysn]].{{book ref|ob|i|13}} Among the Thaylen, consensus seems to be that the legendary ship and the events surrounding it are fictional.
Derethil and his men met a people known as the [[Uvara]], or the People of the Great Abyss. The crew of the ''Wandersail'' were welcomed by the Uvara, and the ship was repaired in their shipyards. Eventually, Derethil and the crew uncovered some disturbing aspects of Uvara society and quickly left the islands on the ''Wandersail'', using the momentum of the whirlpool to get them away from it. They were accompanied by a single Uvara woman named [[Nafti]].{{book ref|sa1|57}}

The story of Derethil and the ''Wandersail'' is told to [[Kaladin]] by [[Hoid]]. Hoid answers cryptically when Kaladin questions the story's authenticity,{{book ref|sa1|57}} and it may contain some elements of truth.{{wob ref|1163}}
 
   
The tale is known in [[Thaylenah]], as [[Vstim]] gifts a [[Wandersail (1174 ship)|newly built ship]] named after the ''Wandersail'' to his former apprentice [[Rysn Ftori]]. Rysn considers the story of the original ''Wandersail'' nothing more than a fanciful myth, while Vstim believes in the message of the story, if not the specifics.{{book ref|ob|i|13}}
