The Falls of Halladale, aground near Peterborough, Victoria, Australia. 1886The
Falls of Halladale was a four-masted iron-hulled barque that was built
in 1886 for the long-distance bulk carrier trade. Her dimensions were
83.87m x 12.64m x 7.23m and she displaced 2085 GRT and 2026 NRT. Built
for the Falls Line (Wright, Breakenridge & Co., Glasgow, Scotland)
at the shipyard of Russell & Co., Greenock on the River Clyde, she
was named after a rather small waterfall on the Halladale River in the
Caithness district of Scotland. The ship’s design was advanced for her
time, incorporating features that improved crew safety and efficiency
such as elevated bridges to allow the crew to move between forward and
aft in relative safety during heavy seas.
