Jeanie Deans (ships)

A number of ships have been named Jeanie Deans after the fictional character, Jeanie Deans who featured in Sir Walter Scott's novel, Heart of Midlothian.

Two Clyde steamers

• PS Jeanie Deans (1884) was built by Barclay Curle & Co in 1884 for the North British Steam Packet Co.
• PS Jeanie Deans (1931) was built for the London and North Eastern Railway in 1931 to compete with the Caledonian Steam Packet Company turbine steamer, Duchess of Montrose. She was built by the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Govan, as a paddler, rather than the more popular turbine steamer, allowing her a shallow draught to visit Craigendoran and Helensburgh.

Two sailing ships

• Jeanie Deans, a four-masted sailing ship. In 1843, this ship is recorded as having sailed from Port Glasgow to Toronto, Canada, but further information about this ship is lacking.
• Jeannie Deans, a 49.3 ft wooden schooner, built in New South Wales, Australia in 1850 and registered in Sydney in 1851. On 10 April 1851, she was on a voyage from Sydney to Broulee, Moruya when she was lost after running aground off Broulee. All the crew were saved.
