Blackadder (clipper)
"Blackadder" was a
clipper ship, a sister ship to "Hallowe'en", built in 1870 by Maudslay, Sons & Field atGreenwich for John Willis."Blackadder" was dismasted on her maiden voyage due to failures in the mast fittings and rigging. John Willis took legal action against the builders which dragged on to such an extent that her sister ship, "Hallowe'en", was not handed over to Willis until nearly 18 months after her launch. After John Willis died in 1900, "Blackadder" was bought by J Aalborg of
Kragero inNorway . On5 November 1905 she was wrecked whilst on passage from Barry toBahia loaded with coal.
