The penultimate sailing vessel ordered for Thomas Dunlop's famous fleet of "Clans" operating at the end of the nineteenth century, Clan MacPherson was built by Russell & Co. at Port Glasgow in 1885. Registered at 1,680 tons gross (1,601 net) and measuring 260½ feet in length with a 38 foot beam, she carried a full-ship rig and, although widely admired as a fine-looking ship, proved steady rather than fast. Nonetheless reliable, she gave her owners almost twenty-five years of profitable service until she was posted missing in 1909 when she disappeared without trace whilst on passage from Newcastle, New South Wales, to Valparaiso.
