''Leon'' was built 1878–1880 for Herlofson brothers in Arendal. The Herlofsons were a sailing and ship owning family, and ''Leon'' remained in the family's ownership until 1894. ''Leon'' then changed hands several times among various Norwegian owners. ''Leon'' was always rigged as a brigantine, but in Norway this rig is termed "Skonnertbrigg" and most often abbreviated to schooner, which has caused authors to believe the boat was re-rigged, but it was not. During late autumn of 1915 it developed a serious leak while on a voyage in the North Sea from&nbsp;[[Granton, Edinburgh|Granton]] to [[Porsgrunn]] with coal, and was abandoned.

The plans for ''Leon'' were reproduced by Harold A. Underhill in 1958 in his book ''Plank-On-Frame Models and Scale Masting and Rigging, vol. I.''  Many models of ''Leon'' exist around the world, including one at [[Royal Museums Greenwich]].
