Lucy (1799 ship)

Lucy was a merchant ship built in Yarmouth, England in 1799. She was primarily engaged in trade between England and the West Indies, particularly Jamaica. Sources indicate she transported goods such as sugar, rum, and other commodities. The Lucy also appears to have participated in some voyages involving enslaved persons during the transatlantic slave trade, prior to its abolition in Britain. Records show changes in ownership and captains during her operational life. Details of her eventual fate (wreck, sale, or other disposition) are currently unclear, though records indicate she was active in shipping registers well into the early 19th century. More extensive research would be necessary to determine a comprehensive history of the vessel.
