Description

In its day the Jhelum was a superb example of a three masted wooden barque. She was built during 1849 in Liverpool. Her design was typical of ocean going trading vessels of her time and for twenty years she carried general cargo between Britain and South America. In 1870 she sailed into Stanley leaking so badly that her crew refused to sail in her again. She was condemned and placed as a storage hulk. Still today she is part of the Stanley landscape
