St. Vincent was a clipper ship that traded between London and Adelaide.
History.
St. Vincent was built and launched in 1865 at Sunderland by William Pile for Devitt & Moore's "Adelaide Line". She was assigned British Reg. No. 52770 and signal HDRK.
She was of composite construction (iron frame and timber planking); 892 tons, length , breadth and depth .
Her maiden voyage departed Plymouth 14 September 1865, Captain Alexander Louttit in command 1865–1873, formerly of the "Sea Star", later of the "Rodney"; Walter H. Bisset 1873–1875; John Howard Barrett 1875–1881, formerly of "Outalpa" and subsequently of "South Australian", "Hesperus" and "Illawarra"; Albert John Ismay 1881–1884, previously of "Gateside" and "Castle Dunbar" and later of "Barossa"; and Malcolm Nicholson 1884–1887, previously of "John Rennie", later of "Simla".
In 1884 her sail scheme was reduced to barque rig, presumably to enable operation with a smaller crew. Around 1888 she was purchased by a Norwegian firm and renamed "Axel". She was broken up in Dunkerque in 1907.
