The Loch Sloy was built for Aitken, Lilburn & Co of Glasgow.
She sailed between Britain and Australia for more than twenty
years. In that time she established a reputation as a crack wool
clipper. Windjammer, the story of the clipper ship Loch Sloy is not
an adventure nor is it a romance or a tragedy, even though it
contains elements of all three.The ship, her captains, officers,
crew and passengers, all those her sailed upon her call out from
the past to have their stories told. The Loch Sloy's' keel was laid
down in mid-1877. By August the construction of the hull and deck
fittings had been completed. After her first marine survey, the
masts were stepped in, and by the end of October the Loch Sloy was
all but complete. The clipper lasted twenty one years before coming
to grief on the jagged shore of Kangaroo Island during the predawn
hours of April 24th 1899. The final chapter of the Loch Sloy like
her unfortunate passengers and crew was buried beneath the ever
shifting sands of Maupertuis Bay.
