Lascelles (1807 ship)

The Lascelles was a British merchant ship launched in 1807. She was primarily employed in trade between Great Britain and the West Indies, particularly with Jamaica. The ship's name reflects the Lascelles family, prominent slave owners and sugar merchants who held significant interests in plantations in the Caribbean. During her service, the Lascelles likely transported goods, including sugar, rum, and other commodities, back to Britain and manufactured goods to the West Indies. Ship registries and historical records document the Lascelles' voyages, masters, and eventual fate, providing insights into the maritime trade networks of the early 19th century and the historical context of transatlantic commerce related to slavery.
