Summary

The steel barque 'Cairnsmore', 906 tons, docked near a cliff. [steel barque 906 tons. ON91146, 199.1 x 32.8 x 20.3. Built 1884 (8) J. Reid and Co. Port Glasgow. Owners: Nicholson and McGill, reg. Liverpool then other Liverpool owners until c.1910 when she passed, without change of name to Norwegian owners. Does not appear to have survived WW1. Note from Parsons = Lubbock is completely confused with this vessel. In Volume 1 'Last of the Windjammers' he gives some information about an accident which occurred in 1904. In Volume 2, he says it was built in 1854 and was wrecked on her second voyage. At the time he was talking about vessels of the 1880's, so presumably the date was a typographical error)].
