    The brig Olinda, 178 tons, was built at Salem, Massachusetts, in 1825 and owned jointly by Gideon and Samuel Tucker in partnership with Daniel H. Mansfield. Trading out of Salem for twenty voyages, she was eventually sold to new Boston owners in January 1847 after which date she disappears from record, probably renamed.
