Launch of Cromdale
- When
- June 1891
- Where
- Barclay Curle shipyard, Glasgow (event locality recorded as Port Glasgow)
Cromdale, the last clipper ship built for the Australian wool trade, was launched in June 1891 at Barclay Curle in Glasgow.
Cromdale was built at Barclay Curle in Glasgow and launched in June 1891. She was the last clipper ship built for the Australian wool trade. By the time of her launch, ocean liners that could carry large numbers of passengers and amounts of cargo had entered the scene. The event is placed in Port Glasgow, Scotland as the allowed event locality; the supplied passages name the builder's yard as Barclay Curle in Glasgow but do not tie that yard to Port Glasgow. The legacy record described the ship as completed in 1891, but the passages directly evidence only the June 1891 launch.
