VALE OF DOON

VALE OF DOON WAS A THREE MASTED IRON BARQUE OF 752 TONS.

SHE HAD BEEN BUILT BY McCULLOCH, PATTERSON & CO OF PORT GLASGOW IN 1869

HER FIRST OWNERS WERE JOHN HAY & CO OF LIVERPOOL

REPORTS THAT SHE WAS OWNED BY T H ISMAY IN 1876 ARE INCORRECT IN MY OPINION I THINK THAT SHE WAS ONLY CHARTERED BY T H ISMAY AT THIS TIME

SHE WAS ( STILL ? ) OWNED BY JOHN HAY & CO OF LIVERPOOL IN 1877

IN 1882 SHE WAS OWNED BY P IREDALE & SON

IN 1882 SHE WAS OWNED BY W B JONES OF LIVERPOOL

AND IN 1898 SHE WAS OWNED BY J H BRUCE OF HONG KONG

SHE WENT MISSING IN SEPTEMBER OF 1904


BE AWARE THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER VESSEL BUILT IN 1866 THAT HAD THE SAME NAME - SHE WAS A PADDLE STEAMER BUILT BY THOMAS B SEATH & CO

SHE HAD NO WHITE STAR LINE CONNECTION - FOR REFERNCE ONLY
