The Margaret Garton was a wooden schooner built by Qualtrough at Castletown in November 1876. There is a photo of the Margaret Garton at Port St. Mary, IoM, in the book "The Schooner" by David R.McGregor.
The Margaret Garton was berthed at Beaumaris, Anglesey, on Census
night in April 1881, and her crew were listed as follows:
| Robert Owen | U | 49 | Moelfre, Anglesey, Wales | Master |
| Isaac Edwards | U | 18 | Red Wharf, Anglesey, Wales | O Seaman |
On the 8th December 1886 the schooners Margaret Garton and Lyra both of Castletown, were anchored in a full easterly gale in Scrabster Roads, Pentland Firth. The schooners were in danger of being driven ashore, and the crews were taken off by the Thurso lifeboat Charley Lloyd.
Her owner was still listed as J.Qualtrough in Lloyds Register in 1922.
