William Miles (1808 ship)

The William Miles was a merchant ship launched in 1808. Records indicate she was primarily involved in trade routes between Great Britain and various destinations, including but not limited to India and the East Indies. Details on her specific voyages, cargo, and crew are often scattered across historical shipping records, making a complete and definitive history challenging to compile. The William Miles is likely named after a prominent individual of the era, possibly a shipowner or merchant, a common practice for vessels of that time. Further research into Lloyd's Register and other maritime archives would be required to paint a more detailed picture of her service life, including her eventual fate (e.g., shipwreck, sale, or decommissioning).
