Launched by Rickmers boatyard in 1902, the four-masted training barquentine carried saltpeter from Chile and wheat from Australia to Europe. She won the "great grain race" between Down Under and Europe a total of eight times for her Finnish owner Gustaf Erikson.

Leaving Falmouth in rough seas and a dense fog, she ran into cliffs and started taking on water.
