The Glaramara was a barque built by the Whitehaven Shipbuilding Company, launched in May 1877.
The Glaramara, carrying a cargo of wheat from San Francisco and
bound for Cork to receive orders, was lost off the Sovereigns, near
Oysterhaven on the Irish coast, on the 22nd February 1883. The master,
Capt.Moreton, had anchored in fog after lookouts had heard breakers. However,
the barque dragged her anchors and despite the assistance of the tug Mount
Etna she was driven ashore. Coastguards used rocket apparatus to rescue
all the crew.
