merchant, produce and stone carrying vessel between Liverpool England
and Scottish Ports. In 1924 sold to a Scottish firm in the Solway Firth
where she was renamed SL. When WWII broke out the Germans seized SL as a
prize of war where she was used to supply their armed forces. During the
war SL hit a mine and was badly damaged, however the Germans refloated
and repaired her because SL was useful as a sail-powered icebreaker.

was totally rebuilt and in 1988 took pride of place in the 1st Fleet
