Caerwent (1799 ship)

The Caerwent was a merchant ship built in Chepstow, Wales in 1799. Historical records indicate that she was primarily involved in trade between Great Britain and the West Indies, often carrying goods such as textiles, manufactured goods, and enslaved people from Africa to the Caribbean islands, and returning with sugar, rum, and other colonial produce. The Caerwent's voyages frequently involved calls at ports in Jamaica, Barbados, and other islands within the British West Indies. Records indicate changes in ownership and master mariners over her working life. Further research is needed to ascertain the specific details of her operational history, including any significant incidents, wrecks, or notable passages.
