Merchant Venturers Almshouses (grid reference ST587727) is a historic building on King Street, Bristol, England.

[1] It was built around 1696 by the Society of Merchant Venturers for convalescent and old sailors to see out their days, often after fever or blindness during service in the ships of the Bristol slave trade.

[7] The plaque on the wall is a poem: "Freed from all storms the tempest and the rage Of billows, here we spend our age.

Our weather beaten vessels here repair And from the Merchants' kind and generous care Find harbour here; no more we put to sea Until we launch into Eternity.

Thus all our anxious cares and sorrows cease Whilst our kind Guardians turn our toils to ease.
