The Bans Vale (sometimes BarnsVale or Bansvale) was built at Lathom in 1847 and wrecked on Taylor's Bank (in the Mersey estuary) on the 13th January 1866, according to her entry in the Lancaster Shipping Register. In 1861 her agent was the Barrow shipowner John Brewer. Her owners at this time included Barrow shipbuilder William Ashburner (16 shares), the Barrow ropemaker Joseph Hellen (16), Jon Benson (8), John Brewer (8), Joseph Goldsworthy (8).
The loss of the Bans Vale was reported in the Barrow Herald in
January 1866. She was described as a 74 ton schooner, of Ulverston, owned
by Roper & Co. Her master was named as Christopher Hutchinson and the
article gives some details of the rescue of her crew by a Southport trawler
boat. Two other Barrow vessels, the Tower
and the Furness Lass were
lost in the same gale.
