Yard Point, where many schooners were built, was owned by John STEPHENS, with William FERRIS as his designer and Yard Foreman. The ship was built through 1876 and launched on 3 October 1876 when she was formally named the Lizzie R Wilce by Elijah’s wife, Elizabeth. At that time she was the largest vessel built at Yard Point, weighing just over 160 tons and being 102 feet long and 23 feet width at her widest and capable of carrying 280 tons.
A tribute to those brave people of Cornwall who served or laid down their lives in both World Wars and subsequent conflicts.
