Hercules (1792 ship)

The Hercules was a merchant vessel launched in 1792. Sources indicate that she primarily operated as a transport ship, often engaged in voyages across the Atlantic. Historical records frequently mention her involvement in trade between Great Britain and its colonies, particularly in North America and the West Indies. Typical cargo would have included manufactured goods outbound from Britain and raw materials (such as timber, cotton, and sugar) on the return journeys. Specific details about the Hercules' construction, ownership, or exact routes are sometimes limited to fragmentary records and shipping manifests. Further research using Lloyds List and other historical maritime archives would be necessary for a more comprehensive account of her career.
