HOPE, photograph
Three-masted barque HOPE in Aberystwyth Harbour.
The Aberystwyth three-masted barque HOPE was built in 1865 by ‘Labbié’ (probably Louis Labbé or Pierre-Gabriel Labbé) in Quebec, Canada, for Wallace & Co of Newport. She was sold to T. Jones of Aberystwyth in 1871/72, then to E.J. Jones of Aberystwyth, then to John Evans of Aberystwyth, in whose ownership she capsized and sank 30 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland, Canada, on 22 August 1892 on a voyage from Port Dalhousie, New Brunswick, Canada, to Porthmadog, with a cargo of timber.
