Lot Essay

The four-masted steel barque Windermere was built in 1892 by T.R. Oswald at Milford Haven. Registered at 3,050 tons gross (2,999 net), she measured 320 feet in length with a 43 foot beam. First owned by Fisher & Sprott, she was sold to Rickmers of Bremerhaven in 1899 and renamed Paul Rickmers; her new career proved a short one however, and she was reported "missing" in 1902.
