From the Cumberland Pacquet and Ware's Whitehaven Advertiser, Tuesday, 13th February 1844, page 3 :
"A fine new ship was launched on the 6th instant from the building yard of Messrs.Robert Ritson and Co., at Maryport, called the Isabella Harnett, of 450 tons register measurement, copper-fastened and coppered to the bends, built for Captain John Newby, and intended for the Eastern trade. The Isabella Harnett is called after the lady of Mr.Harnett, shipbroker, London, sports a full-length female figure head by Brooker, which is said to be an excellent likeness of the individual whose name the vessel bears."It is likely that Capt.John Newby was previously in command of the Gleneira, lost in January 1843 on the Indonesian coast.
