Mary Ann Bond

Official Number 16671

The Mary Ann Bond was a schooner, built at Dundee in 1856. Capt. Michael Bond was master from 1857 until early 1861, and the schooner appears to have been named in honour of his wife. The ship was surveyed at Whitehaven and was designated as a coaster. In 1867 she had some repair to her keel following an incident at Holyhead where she grounded, and indeed was reported wrecked (see Source 2). She was re-registered at Barrow in1869.
