The two-masted schooner Furness Lass was built at Wexford in 1856. She was owned throughout her life by the Barrow shipowner James Fisher.

The Furness Lass was wrecked on the 13th January 1866 in Mill Bay. The Barrow Herald (see Source 2) gave the master's report of the wreck, and included information about two other Barrow vessels, the Tower and Bans Vale, that were lost in the same gale.
