The Eliza Stewart was a sailing ship built in 1833.

History

In 1841 a group of passengers who had sailed from London to Australia on the ship published a letter in The Sydney Morning Herald thanking Captain Robert Millar for his "polite, kind and gentlemanly conduct" to them on the voyage and noting the "very liberal manner in which we were provided and our comforts attended to whilst on board his ship", and thanking Messrs Phillips and Tiplady as charterers of the ship.

William Clark (1803-1883), a Scottish artist specialising in ships, painted The Eliza Stewart Under Reduced Sail in the Channel. This was offered for sail at Christie's auctioneers in 2013, but described as being of a ship built in 1845 in Gloucestershire for a Greenock firm.
