Official Number
21094

The Parkside was a brig built by Charles Lamport, launched at Workington in January 1860. She was initially owned and registered at Whitehaven.

Re-rigged as a schooner, the Parkside was owned in Dundalk in her final years. She was abandoned in Ramsey Bay on the morning of Wednesday, 11th May 1898, her crew of five being taken off by the Mary Isabella lifeboat. The vessel was bound from Londonderry for Garston with a timber cargo, and had capsized in a gale. The master was Capt.William Cheshire and the owner was William Dewhurst, both of Dundalk. The schooner must have been recovered because she was still operating in the following month.
