The Clara Brown was a 70 ton schooner, built in 1860, possibly by Rd.Brown, shipbuilder, of Northwich, Cheshire, who was named as her owner in 1865 (see Source 1). At that time the schooner was registered at Lancaster, and her master was Capt.J.Poole.
On the 29th January 1870 the Barrow Times carried a report that a seaman had made a claim in court for loss of wages. He had been engaged as mate of the Clara Brown at a wage of £3 10s per month in November 1869. The managing owner of the vessel was named as W.K.Chamley and the master as Capt. Postlethwaite.
The Clara Brown was reported lost with all hands in the same
Barrow newspaper in July 1870. She was described as a Barrow schooner and
the name of her master was given as Capt. Thomas Iddon of Tarleton.
