Gleneira
 Official Number
none

The Gleneira was built at Maryport by Huddleston, Ritson & Co., builder's certificate dated 2nd March 1840. She was described as a barque of 360 tons in the Maryport Shipping Register, but as a ship in Source 2. Her first master was Capt.John Newby, her principal owner.

The register for the Gleneira was closed on the 5th July 1843, it being noted that she had been "lost in the China Sea".

Lloyds List reported the vessel departing Singapore for Siam, and then that she was wrecked on the 14th January 1843 - "24th Jan. - The Gleneira, Newby, hence for Siam, was wrecked on the NE Point of Pulo Bintang, 14th inst.; part of materials saved." (see Source 3). It seems that Capt.Newby subsequently took command of the Isabella Harnett.
