Edward Ellice (1813 ship)

The Edward Ellice was a merchant vessel built in Quebec in 1813. She was primarily engaged in trade between Great Britain and British North America, particularly carrying timber and other goods. Sources indicate she was named for Edward Ellice the Elder, a prominent merchant and politician involved in the North American fur trade. The ship's operational history includes voyages across the Atlantic, transporting both cargo and passengers. Further research is needed to fully document her specific routes, ownership changes, and eventual fate. Records suggest she was involved in the timber trade to London and possibly other British ports. Her career likely spanned several decades during a period of significant growth in transatlantic shipping.
