……………………………………………………..
laid-up in the mid 70′s when she was bought by an Australian called Robert
Bruderer who wanted to rig her as a barquentine for world wide cruising. She
arrived on the River Tyne in 1974 for this work to be carried out by R. B.
Harrison & Son before she crossed the Atlantic. Unfortunately the money
ran out and she was bought in 1978 by an American Attorney called Hugh G.
Lawrence for conversion to a three masted schooner.

He went to our local University for advice on stability, rig etc and she was
fitted with two 16 inch dia steel masts, a raised navigating bridge and
rebuilt poop accommodation. The money ran out again and she appeared at
various berths on the river of the next few years. Eventually more money
was found and the work was completed.

On the 2nd December 1989 she loaded cargo at Newcastle Quay and left
the River enroot for Miami under the Command of Captain Mike Anderson and
seven crew which included Mike Lawrence, son of the owner. When she
sailed she was Bermudan-rigged on the fore and main mast’s and carried a
Flettner rotor in her hold for fitting at a later date. She reached Miami some
time in early 1990 but we have failed to obtain any additional information
about her subsequent movements.
