Glenbervie (1815 ship)
Glenbervie was launched at Glasgow in 1815. Initially she was a constant trader between Greenock and Demerara. In 1839 the New Zealand Shipping Company chartered her to carry supplies to support immigration to New Zealand. In the 1840s and 1850s she traded more widely, sailing to Australia, the Caribbean, and South America. A fire destroyed her in August 1860.
