The Royal Yacht Squadron's Fortuna in distress off Shanklin, 1886

Fortuna was a handsome wooden schooner designed and built by G. Inman at Lymington in 1876. Owned by Mr. Adrian Hope who kept her at Southampton, she was registered at 192 tons and measured 130 feet in length with a 25 foot beam. Since the R.Y.S.'s records state that Mr. Hope owned Fortuna until 1891, it is presumed that she survived the incident depicted above even though she disappears from record soon afterwards.
