Sarah

Sarah was launched in Spain in 1791, presumably under another name. The British captured her c.1798. She made five voyages as a Liverpool-based slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people before a Spanish privateer captured her in 1805 on her sixth voyage. On her fifth voyage Sarah had captured two French slave ships at Loango. Career Dolben's Act mandated the maximum number of captives a vessel could carry without penalty, given her burthen. At a burthen of 190 tons, the cap for Sarah would have been 317, a larger number than she ever carried. 1st voyage transporting enslaved people (1799–1800): Captain John Neal sailed from Liverpool on 1 January 1799. In 1799, 156 vessels sailed from English ports to acquire captives from Africa and transport them to the West Indies; 134 of these vessels sailed from Liverpool. Sarah gathered her slaves at Malembo and delivered 295 to Kingston, Jamaica, on 30 August. She left Kingston on 10 October and arrived back at Liverpool on 1 December.
