Background
VICAR OF BRAY (built 1841; bark, 3m) was built by Robert Hardy in Whitehaven, England. She is the last surviving sailing ship
that was among those to arrive in San Francisco, California, during the 1849 Gold Rush. Her last voyage was in 1880, at which
point she was hulked at Goose Green on the Falkland Islands. Plans were formulated to bring the vessel to San Francisco, but
they never came to fruition.
