Irlam (ship)

At least four ships have borne the name Irlam.
 * Irlam was launched at Liverpool and wrecked in 1812.
 * Irlam was launched at Liverpool and wrecked in 1824.
 * Irlam was launched at Liverpool and wrecked in 1831.
 * Irlam was launched at Liverpool after the loss of the vessel wrecked in 1831.

The same company, Barton & Co. (actually Barton, Irlam and Higginson), owned each of the first three vessels, and each was a West Indiaman, sailing between Liverpool and the West Indies, primarily Barbados. There is too little information on the fourth to be able to confirm or refute the possibility that Barton & Co. also owned it. She did trade between Liverpool and Barbados.


 * Irlam was a steel steam paddle tug launched at South Shields. She was broken up in 1953.
