Lottie Warren
Cargo Ship of the 1860s

Built at East Boston in 1863
Length 181 ft.; Beam 36 ft.; Depth 23 ft. 9 in.; Tonnage 1184 tons

George Warren and Company of Liverpool commissioned Paul Curtis to build the Lottie Warren in East Boston in 1863. She was one of several ships built in Boston for this English house, which later established the Warren Line of steamships. The Lottie Warren, built after the close of the clipper ship era, was designed with ample lines, more for cargo capacity than speed. For eighteen years she was owned by Warren and Company and ran under the British flag in the transatlantic and Far Eastern trades. In 1882 she was sold to Dutch owners who in 1891 sold her to Russians. In 1899 she was owned in France and in 1902 she was transferred to Uruguayan registry, under which flag she finally was wrecked off the Bahamas in 1903.
