Tallentire | Official Number

The Tallentire was a brig built at Maryport by Isaac Middleton, and launched on the 1st July 1840.
Initially owned and registered at Maryport, she operated in the trade
to India and South America. On what was probably her maiden voyage, the brig Tallentire, from Bordeaux to
Mauritius, collided with the schooner Lady Bassett, Lisbon for
Liverpool, at 44.24N, 9W, on the 28th November 1840. The master of the
Tallentire was judged to be at fault by the court of inquiry.
In her later life the Tallentire was sold to
Liverpool owners, then Whitehaven owners, and was lost in 1862 or
thereabouts.
