General History:
This was the first vessel built by William Duthie, believed to have been built in yard space rented from Hall's.

28/04/1824:
Brig STRANGER, Soller master, of Aberdeen, went ashore at Garron Point about one mile north of Stonehaven. She had missed stays in tacking about and, drifting upon the rocks, received such an injury as to fill immediately is now sunk by the rock in such a depth of water that mainmast is scarcely visible at high tide. Topmast and some of the sails, yards and rigging have been saved.

Notes:
1819: Described as snow rigged in Lloyd's
The below information is listed in Lloyd's Register after the date of sinking because registration continued until the owners of the vessel reported otherwise, which they often failed to do!
