Description
Glaucus was a visitor to San Francisco, Astoria, Calcutta and Australia. Sometime after the turn of the century, the ship became a bark. In 1905 the French firm of Bordes et Fils purchased Glaucus and named it Almendral. Under French management, the bark engaged in the nitrate trade in South America until laid up in 1921. Almendral was sold for scrap in 1923.
