The Joseph was built at the Rawlinson & Reay shipyard at Hindpool in 1859. She was a two-masted schooner that started her career in Joseph Rawlinson's own fleet. From 1868 she was managed by another Barrow shipowner, James Fisher.
In March 1867 Capt. B.Wilding left the Joseph to command the newly-launched Duke of Buccleuch, but in Nov.1877 the Barrow Times Shipping Intelligence columns again noted a Capt. Wilding as master. In January 1879 the same source names Capt. Halsall as master. The Joseph was one of the vessels commanded by Capt. James Brockbank in 1875, according to his entry in the Captains' Register.
The Joseph foundered off the Lizard on the 27th November 1895,
after collision with the steamship Lindisfarne.
