The Ivanhoe was a barque built at Maryport by Huddleston, Ritson & Co., and launched on the 3rd May 1836.
The Cumberland Pacquet and Ware's Whitehaven Advertiser, 10th May 1836;
"A very handsome new barque of 299 tons register measurement was
launched from the building yard of Messrs.Huddleston, Ritson & Co.,
at Maryport, on Tuesday last, called the Ivanhoe, built for
Captain James Gibson, of Whitehaven. Her model was much admired, and
the superior style in which she is finished reflects great credit on
the firm by whom she was constructed. She is coppered to the bends, and
stands A1 at Lloyd's for 12 years."
In 1840 the Ivanhoe was registered at Whitehaven, owned by Joseph Gunson and Co., master named as Capt.James Gibson. She was sold to Liverpool owners and was lengthened to increase her tonnage to 374, and was yellow-metalled, increasing her classification to 12 years A1. She then entered the trade to China and India. In 1850 she was again yellow-metalled, and then ended her career in the trade to Cuba.
The Ivanhoe, along with the American barques Arkansas, Albers, Aquilla and Warden, and the American brigs Galveston and John Hathaway, was wrecked by a hurricane on the 27th and 28th August 1856 whilst loading at Sagua la Grande, Cuba. The crews of all the vessels were saved, but only a small proportion of their cargoes.
