Harriot (1787 ship)

The Harriot was a merchant vessel built in 1787. Specific details of its construction, dimensions, and original ownership are often scarce without specifying a particular Harriot from that era, as multiple ships of that name likely existed. Generally, merchant vessels like the Harriot in the late 18th century were involved in trade routes across the Atlantic, possibly engaged in transporting goods such as agricultural products, manufactured goods, and enslaved people (depending on the routes and laws in place at the time). Further research using Lloyds Register or similar maritime records would be necessary to definitively establish the specific trade routes, home port, and ultimate fate of a Harriot built in 1787. Information such as the captain's name and major voyages would also be found in those documents.
