Mallowdale
|
Official Number
63289 |
The Mallowdale was an iron barque built by the Lune
Shipbuilding Company at Lancaster in 1869.
The barque was renamed Adolphe, when later owned in Dunkirk,
then Sesa when bought by the Adelaide Steam Ship Company in 1904.
Like the Jane Sprott,
a Harrington-built vessel also owned by this company, she was used as a
hulk, then eventually scuttled in the Rottnest ships' graveyard in June
or July 1928.
