The Margaret Murray, Thomas Waters Master, hove-to in a hurricane in the Atlantic
The Margaret Murray was built for the Annan shipping family of
Nicholson and named for the ship owner's daughter.
Shipbuilding was a thriving industry in Annan during the mid-19th
century and the town owes much of its Victorian wealth to the
Solway and most of its finest buildings seen in the High Street
today were built during this period when ship building and other
industries such as fishing, and the export of fine sandstone were
at its highest intensity.
