Lawhill chronology

Lawhill colorized with the Finnish flag (courtesy of Erick Navas)

Having done the piece on Captain Arthur Söderlund I found there was plenty of material on the Lawhill around Europe, South Africa and Australia so I thought to look more into events that were reported  in news papers, basically anything what I could find publicly, I'm sure there is much more written about her in books that can't be seen online.

Below are Lloyd's register entries for Lawhill, they start at 1893 so I guess she didn't make it to the print with the late launch in 1892 until she was removed as "broken up" in 1958. In 1959 she was no more.

Owner C. Barrie 1893

Owner W. B. Thompson 1900

Owner G. Windram & Co 1914 

Owner A. Troberg1915

Owner G. Erikson 1922

Owner Union Gov't of South Africa 1946

Owner Marco da Silva 1958

Her early years, 1900 - 1911, she was part of the future Esso (Exxon) and those vessels were called kerosene clippers. Here she is mentioned in the Anglo-American Oil Co fleet list.

1901 08 05 The Lloyd's Weekly for August 9, 1901, records that the Lawhill was spoken by the Glenogle on August 5 in lat. 31° N long. 126° E, listing 30 degrees to starboard because of shifted ballast. Captain Jarvis refused assistance. The four-masted barque County of Haddington was lost in the same typhoon in which Lawhill's ballast shifted. It is a proof of Capt. Jarvis' superb seamanship that he managed to save his ship at this and other times. Further, if he had accepted the assistance of the Glenogle there might have been a risk that they could have claimed salvage rewards.
