The wooden trading schooner Vixen was built by Stephen's at Peterhead in 1870. Owned by W. Sangster & Co. of the same port, she was registered there at 188 tons gross (180 net) and measured 109½ feet in length with a 23½ foot beam. Sold to J.E. Prettyman of Pentewan, Cornwall, in 1891, her home port then became Fowey and she traded successfully until 1907 when, on 8th March, whilst on passage from London to the Tyne, she stranded and was wrecked in a Force 9 gale near Sea Palling, Norfolk.
