The Evangeline, also known by its previous name Zenobia, was a yacht that was built in 1869 at Cowes, Isle of Wight. It had an official number of 58826. The yacht was propelled by a screw propulsion system.
The Evangeline had a length of 61 feet, a beam of 12 feet, and a depth of 6 feet. Its gross tonnage was recorded as 24 tons.
The ownership of the yacht changed over the years. It was owned by E. Sullivan of Algoma, Ontario in 1886 and 1895. Later, ownership transferred to C. & T. C. Sims, also from Algoma, in 1901.
The Evangeline met a tragic end as it was burned. Its final location was Goat Island in Ontario, Canada. Unfortunately, further details about the circumstances of the burning are not available in the provided information.
It’s worth noting that the yacht was previously known as Zenobia before being renamed Evangeline. A newspaper article from the British Whig in Kingston, Ontario, dated July 16, 1884, describes the yacht under its former name, Zenobia, and mentions its construction at Cowes, Isle of Wight in 1870.
