History
The Glenlea was a British steam merchant ship and was one of two of the last ships built by John Priestman & Co., the other ship being the Finland. The ship was finished in August of 1930. The ship eventually came under ownership of John Morrison & Son.

On 7 November 1942, the Glenlea was torpedoed sunk by U-566 after falling behind from its convoy, ON-142. Because of this, it wasn't escorted and made easy prey for German U-boats. Out of the 49 crew on board, 44 died.
