Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The largest sailing vessel built in Ulverston was Ulverstone in 1811. Initially intended for the West Indies trade, but destined for the Baltic, she followed the trajectory of many other large ships built at the end of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and was converted to a whaler in the Northern Whale Fishery. She operated from the port of Leith between 1829 and 1835 enjoying the mixed fortunes of the whaling industry in the 1830s. Unlike many most whaling ships she was not wrecked in the Arctic but was converted back into an ocean-going ship which sailed the globe until she was lost off Weymouth in 1873. Ulverstone was the only ship outside Whitehaven to have been built in Cumbria and to have engaged in whaling, and she became the county's last link with the Northern Whale Fishery. | |||
