The Bowman B. Law was ordered by the Yarmouth business, William Law & Co. to be built in 1885. This ship was Yarmouth’s first iron vessel (and Canada’s second iron square-rigger). The ship was named after the owner’s son (of the same name) who became a Member of Parliament for Yarmouth. This is an example of a prominent ship that graced the Yarmouth harbour.
