The screw schooner Gelert, 42 tons, was built for Mr R.H. Stewart by Fullerton's of Paisley in 1881. First registered at Caernarvon, she was 105.7 feet in length, with a 16 foot beam, and rated A1 by Lloyd's. Twice changing her rig during her long life and after many changes of ownership - including being a government harbour Patrol Defence Craft in the Second World War - she was presumed broken up in 1960.
