Jane was launched at Liverpool in 1805 as a slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people.

Jane first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LL) in 1805 with Magennis, master, Falkner & Co., owners, and trade Liverpool–Africa.

[3] While Jane, McGinnis, master, was at the Congo she blew up in 1806, reportedly as the result of a rebellion.

[4] The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade database reports that almost the entire crew and all the captives were killed.

[5][6][7] One source described the rebellion as partly successful in that it resulted in some captives regaining their freedom.
