Geocache Description:


Credit River - Shipwreck Series

Hallowe'en
 1887



There are many shipwrecks around the world. Some very famous and others not so. Each however has it’s own story to tell. As you travel along the Credit River doing this series of caches, we have highlighted a number of these shipwrecks. During low water levels on these parts of the Credit River, you need to be careful in a canoe or kayak so as you don’t wind up in your own shipwreck. Besides the many large rocks along the way, there are also some other obstacles such as dams which should be avoided. All of the geocaches in this series have been placed by tubing, inflatable boat or on foot by walking in the water along the Credit River. Whichever way you choose to search for these caches, use caution and common sense.

Hallowe'en
Hallowe’en was an iron clipper ship with a tonnage of 920 tons. She was built in 1870 by Maudslay, Son & Field at Greenwich for John "Jock" "White Hat" Willis, and was a sister ship to 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

In 1874, Hallowe’en sailed from Shanghai to London with a cargo of tea in 91 days, a record time, arriving Jan. 20, 1875.

Hallowe’en was fast in light airs and recorded many fast passages from China. In 1887 she was on passage from Foochow loaded with tea and was wrecked off Salcombe.
