Vallejo

Official Number 63882

The Vallejo was an iron barque built at Harrington by R.Williamson & Son in March 1871. She was registered at Workington and was owned by John Gambles, a Harrington shipowner, from her launch until 1894. From 1895 to 1900 her owner was I.Shute, and in 1897 the vessel's registry was transferred from Workington to Liverpool.

The Vallejo was renamed Amicizia in 1900 and was broken up at Genoa in May 1909.
