| Description |
Victress was a Canadian barque built in Annapolis, Nova Scotia in 1854 for Jacob V Troop, founder of the famous Troop fleet of sailing vessels, and Andrew Kenney, both of Saint John, New Brunswick. Kenney was also her captain. She registered 362 tons and measured 127.7 x 25.8 x 12.7 feet. Initially trading with the West Indies, she would carry fish and lumber from Saint John and bring back molasses and sugar. Her maiden voyage was to Havana, and she was back in Saint John on 27th October 1854. On 23rd May 1855 she arrived in New York from the Cuban port of Sagua La Grande with her usual cargo of sugar and molasses. From New York she went down to Alexandria, Virginia, and from there made her first passage to Europe, arriving in Marseille on 22nd January 1856. She then made a short journey down to the Spanish port of Torrevieja, but on her next passage to Malaga she sprang a major leak and was making 18 inches of water per hour before arriving there on 2nd April. After undergoing repairs she went to Gibraltar, and on 21st May cleared for New York. Her final passage left Matanzas in Cuba on 21st May 1858 bound for Falmouth, but was totally lost in a hurricane off the Bahamas.[1] |
