"Hort Hill" in Dundee Harbour - Ref: WC0840
The "Holt Hill" [Hort being a misreading] was an iron four-masted barque, built by W. H. Potter and Son, Liverpool, in 1884 for the Sailing Ship Holt Hill Co., Ltd., also of Liverpool. She had a gross tonnage of 2523 and measured 300 feet in length.
The Dundee amateur photographer, Alexander Wilson, took this picture a couple of weeks after the "Holt Hill" arrived in the city with a cargo of raw jute from Calcutta. Her voyage had lasted 125 days.
The cargo she brought was divided between six Dundee companies: Harry Walker and Sons, James Prain and Sons, D. W. Wybrants, Alexander Low and Co., William Halley and Sons, and John Henderson and Sons.
