Nassau (ship)

Several ships have been named Nassau.

Nassau (1784 ship) was launched at New Providence in 1784. From 1785 to 1792 she sailed from London to New Providence, Philadelphia, Jamaica, Smyrna, and Quebec. A new owner in 1792 moved her registration and homeport to Bristol to sail her as a slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people. She made one complete slave trading voyage. A French squadron captured and burnt her in 1794 as she was on her way to Africa on her second such voyage.
Nassau (1819 ship) was launched at Gosport in 1819. In 1824 a pirate plundered her, and then let her proceed. She was wrecked in August 1825 as she was on her way back to London from a voyage to New South Wales.
