The schooner Isabella Fisher was built at Northwich, Cheshire,
in 1855 for James Fisher of Barrow. In 1859 she was commanded by Capt.
Robert Ashburner and operated in the coasting trade.
On the night of 20th December 1860 the Isabella Fisher grounded
in a snow storm on the Skul Martin rock off Ballywalter. The
wreck was subsequently sold by auction, where she lay, after her cargo
had been discharged. The schooner had been on a voyage from Ardrossan
to Newport with pig iron under the command of Capt.Thomas Gracie. Her
entry in the Lancaster shipping register was subsequently closed, it
being noted that the schooner had been broken-up in 1860.
