?Lady Elizabeth?, an iron barque of 1, 155 tons built by Robert Thompson Jr. of Southwick, Sunderland and launched on 4 June 1879.

She was deemed uneconomical to repair and used as a coal hulk until breaking loose in a storm and drifting to Whalebone cove, where she resides to this day, in the Falkland Islands. Date: 1984

EDITORS COMMENTS
Lady Elizabeth": An Unyielding Maritime Legacy in Stanley Harbour, Falkland Islands This evocative photograph captures the rustic charm and enduring resilience of "Lady Elizabeth," an iron barque that was built in 1879 by Robert Thompson Jr. in Southwick, Sunderland, England. Launched on the 4th of June that year, the Lady Elizabeth boasted a formidable size of 1,155 tons. However, her seafaring career was marked by an unforgettable chapter in 1912 when she was battered by a relentless storm in the treacherous waters of the South Atlantic. The tempestuous weather caused significant damage to the Lady Elizabeth, leaving her with a six-foot (1.8 m) break in the hull and a keel, as well as a one-foot (30 cm) hole. Despite the extensive damage, the Lady Elizabeth managed to limp her way to Stanley Harbour in the Falkland Islands. However, the cost of repairs proved to be uneconomical, and she was repurposed as a coal hulk. Over the ensuing decades, the Lady Elizabeth remained anchored in Whalebone Cove, where she became a beloved and intriguing part of the local landscape. Her hulking presence served as a reminder of the harsh realities of life at sea and the unyielding power of nature. This photograph, taken in 1984, captures the Lady Elizabeth in her twilight years, her once-majestic sails replaced by a weathered and rusted exterior. Yet, her spirit remains undiminished, a testament to the enduring allure of the sea and the indomitable nature of the ships that ply its waters. The Lady Elizabeth stands as a poignant reminder of the rich maritime history of the Falkland Islands and the intrepid voyages of the past. Her story continues to captivate visitors and locals alike, inspiring awe and respect for the enduring legacy of the ships that have braved the vast and unforgiving expanse of the sea.
