Lot Essay

The steel screw schooner Evona was designed by G.L. Watson and built for Henry J. Mason of Bingley, Yorkshire, by the Ailsa Shipbuilding Company of Troon in 1897. Registered at 391 tons gross (147 net & 465 Thames), she measured 163 feet in length with a 25 foot beam and was engined by Muir & Houston of Glasgow. Her original owner kept her until just before the Great War at which time she disappears from record.
