The Miranda was a barque built at Whitehaven by Lumley Kennedy & Co., launched on the 30th January 1854. She was yellow-metalled, indicating that she was involved in deepwater sailing. Her owners were Bowring & Co. and the vessel was registered at Liverpool in 1859, when the Miranda, Capt. Williams,  was noted in Lloyds Register as having sailed for South America. She was still registered at Liverpool in 1873.

The Miranda was registered at Brisbane, Australia, when she was wrecked on the 29th December 1874. She was wrecked off the Brunswick River, at the border between New South Wales and Queensland.
