She was launched under the name "Christian" this vessel operated as
a cargo sailing ship and motor vessel under the name "Meta Jan" until
the late 60s. At that time she was bought by Jim 'Mac' Mackreth in
1968 whose family restored the ship rigging her as a topsail schooner.
Up until 1975 she was used for periods by the BBC for the Onedin Line
series and was also chartered for PR purposes as well by sailing
enthusiasts. However in 1975 a heavy storm caused severe damage to
the ship's hull making her unseaworthy. At that time she was sold to
Dutch owners who used her in inland and sheltered waters. Tied up in
Amsterdam in 1979 the ship was destroyed as the result of an arson
attack.
Just a bit of trivia for this group.
