It was built during 1875, by Barclay Curle Shipbuilders in Glasgow, Scotland, for the shipping company R & J Craig of Glasgow.[2] Measuring Шаблон:Convert long, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert, a draught of Шаблон:Convert and a cargo capacity of Шаблон:NRT, it was a state-of-the-art windjammer when it began its use, for the jute trade between the ports of Dundee and Cardiff in Great Britain and Bombay and Calcutta / Hooghly River in East India. Its rig was 'Scottish style', with royal sails above double top-sails and single topgallants.
County of Peebles represented an important development of sailing ship design, which allowed wind-powered ships to compete successfully on long haul routes with steamships during the last quarter of the 19th century.[3] With its success R & J Craig ordered a further eleven similar four-masted 'full-rigged ships' for the thriving Indian jute trade, forming what was referred to as the Scottish East India Line. Using the pattern of County of Peebles, the other ships ordered were also named after Scottish counties as follows: County of Caithness (launched in 1876), County of Inverness (1877), County of Cromarty (1878), County of Dumfries (1878), County of Kinross (1878), County of Selkirk (1878), County of Aberdeen (1879), County of Haddington (1879), County of Edinburgh (1885), County of Roxburgh (1886), and County of Linlithgow (1887).
In 1898, County of Peebles was sold to the Chilean Navy. Renamed Muñoz Gamero, it was used as a coal hulk at Punta Arenas on the Strait of Magellan. During the mid-1960s it was beached as a breakwater in Punta Arenas, where it lay as of 2017, with masts cut down.[4]
