Olivebank was one of two steel barques built by Mackie & Thompson, Glasgow and considered to be the most famous of the A. Weir company. In February 1911, while at Santa Rosa, she had to be scuttled to douse a fire. She was later raised and repaired, but unfortunately, she ran aground at the same place just four months later ! She had various shipowners. On 8th September 1939, she was sunk by a mine off Jutland with the loss of all but 7 of the crew.
