Irlam (ship)


At least four ships have borne the name Irlam.
  • was launched at Liverpool and wrecked in 1812.
  • was launched at Liverpool and wrecked in 1824.
  • was launched at Liverpool and wrecked in 1831.
  • Irlam was launched at Liverpool after the loss of the vessel wrecked in 1831.
The same company, Barton & Co., owned each of the first three vessels, and each was a West Indiaman, sailing between Liverpool and the West Indies, primarily Barbados. There is too little information on the fourth to be able to confirm or refute the possibility that Barton & Co. also owned it. She did trade between Liverpool and Barbados.
