Richard
Collard
Newhaven-based
entrepreneur who owned and chartered ships between 1887, when he took
the small steamer PS May from Hastings to view a naval review at Ryde,
and 1911 when he sold PS Lady Rowena the largest of his owned
vessels. Plymouth Belle was the largest vessel to sail for Mr
Collard, for whom it undertook crossings to France.
