Footnotes

Built for Adamson's of London by William Pile at Sunderland in 1861, Glenaros was a fine wooden clipper ship registered at 679 tons and measuring 182 feet in length with a 32½ foot beam. On her first passage home from China under Captain Buckham, she made the run in a very fast 108 days (Shanghai to London), this being the quickest ever recorded against the monsoon. Purchased by J. Morrison of London in 1869, her new owner took her off the China tea run and put her into the Indian trade where she remained until she was sold to Hopkins of Aberystwyth in 1877. Resold to different owners in the same port in 1878 and again in 1880, she was abandoned sinking in the North Atlantic on 21st March 1881 when, after shipping water in a fierce north-easterly gale, her shifting grain cargo choked her pumps and she was overwhelmed.
