Sailed London 1865 - arrived Lyttleton December 18th 1865
Described by the Lyttelton newspapers
as "a model ship throughout, with excellent accommodation for passengers", Glenmark
was an Aberdeen clipper of 958 tons. As a new ship she departed on her first voyage to New
Zealand on October 30th 1864 and arrived at Lyttelton on January 21st 1865. In all Glenmark
made eight voyages to New Zealand, all of them to Lyttelton. After loading �80,000 in
gold at London in early 1872 and having on board 50 passengers and crew, Glenmark
sailed into oblivion. She was never seen again and there was no evidence as to what
happened to her, her passengers or the gold.
