Irlam (1813 ship)

The Irlam was a merchant vessel built in Liverpool, England in 1813. Primarily engaged in trade between Britain and the East Indies, it also undertook voyages to other destinations. Information regarding its owners, captains, and specific cargo details varies depending on the source consulted, reflecting the challenges of reconstructing complete maritime records from the period. Sources typically include Lloyd's Register and related shipping databases. Details of the ship's eventual fate (e.g., shipwreck, decommissioning) are often unclear without more specific historical records. Voyages frequently involved the transportation of goods such as textiles, spices, and manufactured items from Britain to the East Indies, and the return transport of commodities like tea, silk, and other goods.
