Amethyst | Official Number
74746 |
The Amethyst was an iron barquentine built by the Whitehaven Ship Building Company and launched on the 3rd July 1876. Her first owner was G.Nelson and the vessel was registered at Whitehaven. Her maiden voyage was to Buenos Aires under the command of Capt.Wyon.
The Amethyst stranded in November 1889 and was bought by F.Rasmussen, a Danish owner who refloated her and repaired her. By 1890 she was in Mexican ownership under the name of Barbara y Luisa. By 1892 Norwegians had bought her and renamed her Anne Charlotte.
The Anne Charlotte was wrecked on the outer bar at Aracaju, Brazil,
on the 27th December 1894, on passage from Newport. All the crew were saved.
