Welcome from me also  :)

The OSSEO was a steel barque built in Londonderry for the McCorkell Line in 1889. She carried Indian corn, wheat, flour, coals and general cargo. Her trading voyages took her from Londonderry to Montevideo, Philadelphia, San Franciso [sic].

On December 30th, 1894, OSSEO was on route from Taltal, Chile to Ardrossan, when she was lost on Holyhead breakwater, after a series of severe gales. No one of the crew of 26 survived the wreck.
