Tom (1792 ship)

[1] 1st voyage transporting enslaved people (1792): Captain Brine sailed from Liverpool on 13 April 1792.

Tom started acquiring captives at the Congo River on 9 August, and sailed from there on 10 September.

[2] Lloyd's List reported in March that Tom, Brine, master, had been sailing from Liverpool to Africa when she was driven on shore at Hoylake.

This led the government in the Danish West Indies to encourage the importation of captives prior to the ban taking effect.

Records for the period 1796 to 1799 show that 24 British enslaving ships, most of them from Liverpool, arrived at St Croix and imported 6,781 captives.

[8] Third voyage transporting enslaved people (1794-Loss): Captain James Galt acquired a letter of marque on 10 March 1794.

[9] In July 1794 Lloyd's List reported that two French frigates had captured at least four British vessels off Madeira.
