Summary

'Annie Taylor' and 'Handa Isle' at Edithburgh. [Wooden 2 masted ketch, 73 tons, ON64374, 86.0 x 18.5 x 7.2 built 1871 Cape Hawke, NSW for owners in New South Wales. In December 1873 sold to Port Adelaide shipowners and then in 1888 transferred to port of Fremantle. Sold to foreigners about 1909 and broken up at Koepang, Timor in 1912.] A researcher disputes the caption - 'The only time that the 'Handa Isle' was at Edithburgh, indeed S.A. waters, between 1890 and 1910 was in January 1895. She left Port Adelaide for Edithburg on Jan 19 and sailed from there on the 23rd. On Jan 21 the ketch 'Lizzie Taylor' arrived at Edithburg to also load salt. Both vessels are named in a S A Register story on Jan 28. At this time the 'Annie Taylor' was in WA under WA ownership and was, according to her register, a topsail schooner. The photo is most definitely of a ketch.'
