"Rhoda Mary" and "Katie Clewett" were famous schooners.
"A dispute settled" was commissioned by Mr G. Trebilcock, a descendant of the winner.
It was said "Rhoda Mary" and "Katie Clewett", built by the Ferris family, were the fastest and most elegant of the 4,000 'ish working schooners sailing from British ports between the 1870's and 1930's.
The tale gets better;Not only were "Rhoda Mary" and "Katie Clewett" crack ships, both Cornish built in the rival ports of Falmouth and Fowey, they were built by different members of the same Cornish family!
Built and maintained to an equivalent standard to superyachts, "Rhoda Mary" and "Katie Clewett" were considered the "Cutty Sark" and "Thermopylae" of the coast trade, crack ships.
