The schooner City of St.Andrews was built of iron by D.Pringle at Dundee in 1855. She was managed by James Fisher of Barrow from 1857 until 1872.
From the "Cumberland Pacquet and Ware's Whitehaven Advertiser", Tuesday, 19th February, 1861, page 6:
" The City of St.Andrews, of Barrow, was wrecked near the Isle of Man and Capt.Ditchfield and Henry Iddon both drowned. The vessel belonged to Mr.James Fisher, of Barrow, and was bound from the Clyde to Saltney with railway chairs."The City of St.Andrews was berthed at Pembroke Dock on Census night in April 1881, and her crew were listed as follows:
| James J. McGlad | M | 36 | Down County Gunnisland, Ireland | Master |
| John Money | M | 30 | Down County Mullertown, Ireland | Mate |
| James McConnall | U | 16 | Down County Gunnisland, Ireland | O Seaman |
On the 9th May 1882 the City of St.Andrews was wrecked on Taylor's
Bank, in the River Mersey (two other Fisher vessels were later lost there,
the Alice Fisher in 1887 and the
Maria
Lamb in 1894). The City of St.Andrews was carrying coal
from Garston to Newry, and all of her crew survived.
