COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHS: The anchor of the schooner Mary B. Mitchell

The Mary B. Mitchell was a 227 tons gross three-masted topsail schooner. She was built in 1892 by the Paul Rodgers' yard at Carrickfergus, for William Preston of Beaumaris. Her accommodation was particularly fine and featured a mahogany and maple panelled saloon, with a terrazzo floor. She was initially employed in the Welsh slate trade, and later carried cargoes of cement. Prior to 1919, she was owned by Lord Penrhyn, and is said to have been used as a yacht in the Mediterranean during the summer, reverting to the slate trade in winter. On 15th December 1943 she sank off Kirkcudbright, Scotland.
