Oweenee

An iron barque built at Harrington, Cumbria for the McCorkell Line of Derry in 1879. She achieved the fastest round voyage of fifty days in 1880, with an outward passage of seventeen days and a return of fifteen days. Tragically she was lost in the spring of 1882 when it is thought she may have struck an ice floe.
