General notes

One of the ships owned by G.C. Karran, Castletown.

This image is from the A.D. Edwardes Collection of about 8,000 photographs, mostly of sailing ships from around the world, taken between about 1865 and 1920. Mounted in 91 albums, the photographs are arranged by country of ownership, with some special volumes such as 'Shipping at Port Adelaide' and 'South Australian outports'. Additional information, giving the history of the ships where known, has been provided by maritime historian, Ron Parsons.

From the look of the photo, the 'Lady Elizabeth' is not flying any flag in port which suggests she was between owners. This could have been after John Wilson declared bankruptcy on March 15th 1884, or January 1906 when she was sold to L. Lynderson. [from information supplied].
