The Margaret Porter was a two-masted schooner built by
Matthew Simpson at Glasson
Dock, Lancaster, at a cost of £2080. She was launched on Tuesday,
22nd April 1856.
The Margaret Porter has been said to
be very similar to the Gauntlet, Express
and Kate, and was
probably built from the same shipbuilder's
model (see Source 3).
The schooner went
missing on a voyage from Carlingford Lough to Havre with a cargo of
potatoes, in about February 1871.
