Hallowe’en was a 920-ton iron clipper ship. She was built in 1870 by Maudslay, Son & Field at Greenwich, England, for Jock Willis & Sons (commissioned by John Willis, junior), and was a sister ship to the clipper ship Blackadder. Due to faults in Blackadder, which caused dismasting on her maiden voyage, Hallowe’en was not handed over to Willis for nearly 18 months after her launch due to protracted legal action. Record passage from China to LondonIn 1874-1875, Hallowe’en sailed from Shanghai China, to London with a cargo of tea in 91 days, a record time, arriving 20 January 1875. She was fast in light airs and recorded many fast passages between China and the United Kingdom. In 1887, Hallowe’en was on passage from Fuzhou, China, loaded with tea when she was wrecked in the English Channel at Soar Mill Cove off Salcombe, South Devon, England.[1] References1. ^1 {{Cite web | last = Bruzelius | first = Lars | title = Sailing Ships "Hallowe'en" | work = Hallowe'en | publisher = The Maritime History Virtual Archives | date = 1996-08-24 | url = http://www.bruzelius.info/Nautica/Ships/Clippers/Halloween%281870%29.html | accessdate = 12 February 2011}} {{Clipper ships}}{{1887 shipwrecks}}{{coord|50.2377|-3.7642|type:landmark_globe:earth_region:GB|display=title}}{{ship-stub}} 9 : Tea clippers|Individual sailing vessels|Victorian-era merchant ships of the United Kingdom|Ships built in Greenwich|Shipwrecks in the English Channel|History of Devon|Maritime incidents in 1887|1870 ships|Ships built on the River Thames |
