The Mabel was built by William White at Canal Side, Ulverston. She was a two-masted schooner, launched on the 28th March 1876. She immediately entered the fleet of William Postlethwaite. Her master was Capt. John Latham at least until 1879, possibly longer.
The Mabel, of Barrow, was berthed at Braddan, Isle of Man, on
the night of the April 1881 Census. Her crew were listed as follows:
| Humphrey Bennett | m | 40 | Connahs Quay, Flint, Wales | Master |
| Thomas Bennett | m | 27 | Connahs Quay, Flint, Wales | Mate |
| Robert Owen | u | 18 | Almwich, Anglesey, Wales | OS |
| Thomas Henshae | u | 15 | Connahs Quay, Flint, Wales | Boy |
| Elizabeth Bennett | m | 40 | Connahs Quay, Flint, Wales | Masters Wife |
The Mabel was sold by Postlethwaite in 1907 to John McBurney
of Annalong, Co. Down. Her registry at Barrow was closed in 1924, but there
is no report of her ultimate fate.
