Chapman (1777 ship)

The Chapman was a merchant vessel launched in 1777. Sources indicate it was involved primarily in trade between Great Britain and India, sailing for the East India Company (EIC) on numerous occasions. Details on specific voyages, captains, and cargoes carried are documented in historical records of the EIC and maritime databases. Further research is needed to determine precise ownership, shipbuilding location, and eventual fate of the vessel. The Chapman is one of many ships bearing that name, necessitating specific identification via launch year to distinguish it from other vessels.
