holywath
The schooner Holy
Wath was built by William Thomas at Amlwch, Anglesey in 1872.
She was owned by the Duddon Shipping Association from her launch
until 1920, and in 1921 she was owned by James Nicholson and John
Fisher of Barrow.
Alan Lockett states that the vessel was originally supposed to be
named "Holly Wath" after the house of Capt. William Morgan, the
Duddon harbourmaster and one of the managers of the Duddon Shipping
Association.
The Holy Wath was berthed at Milford Haven on Census night in
April 1881, and her crew were listed as follows:
John Williams M 45 Amlwch, Anglesey, Wales Master Thomas John U
45 Dinas, Pembroke, Wales Mate
Bengamin Hannart U 27 Cromar, Norfolk AB Seaman
John Woodward U 16 Ulverston AB Seaman
James Stock U 14 Newport, Monmouth Cook
The Holy Wath was broken-up at Glasson Dock, Lancaster in 1925.
