Lowther Castle | Official Number
91291 |
The Lowther Castle was one of five large vessels built at the
Williamson shipyard at Workington for the Lancaster Shipowners Company
(the others were Greystoke Castle,
Lancaster
Castle, Wray Castle and Pendragon
Castle). The Lowther Castle
was the second, an iron three-master
launched in January 1886. She made her maiden voyage from Maryport to
Cairns, Queensland, with steel rails and machinery, making the passage
in 107 days.
The Lowther Castle was sold to German owners in 1897, and was
renamed Marie before being broken-up in the same year.
