The Carradale was a four-masted steel barque built in 1889 by Stephen & Sons in Glasgow for the Dale Line. Originally intended for the
Australian trade, in the early twentieth century she was forced to seek cargoes wherever available. She survived World War I and was sold
to Germany in 1924 for £3100. The Carradale was finally sent to the breakers in 1925.
