The other four vessels in the group with Glenbervie, which was serving to carry stores, were Adelaide, Aurora, Bengal Merchant, and Duke of Roxburgh.

The Illustrated London News reported: On Saturday morning, the 23rd, the ship Glenbervie, 380 tons register, left Bathurst Basin, Bristol, for the purpose of proceeding to Newport, there to take in a cargo of coals on a return voyage to the Havannah.

The pilot then left; but the captain had not got his vessel much below the toll-gate, when she took the mud off Acraman's works, and soon heeled over, losing her masts, and blocking up the navigation.

: the expense of raising and repairing the Glenbervie will cost, probably, more than as many hundred pounds, to say nothing of the inconvenience and loss of time.

The vessel was grounded on a slip of mud and stones, represented by the dark mass abreast of her.

It should be observed that she ought not to have been taken down this river, or rather the New Cut-which is not the usual channel for large vessels, but for coasters and small craft only.The last sailing reported in Australian Newspapers was in 1859 when she sailed for Guam from Adelaide on 1 March under Captain James Anderson.

In a later story it reported that the vessel that had been lost was Glenburnie A fire off the Falkland Islands on 6 August 1860 destroyed Glenbervie; the British merchant ship Tigre rescued her crew.
