Jane was launched at Liverpool in 1805. An explosion destroyed her in 1806 on her first voyage as a slave ship.
Jane first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LL) in 1805 with Magennis, master, Falkner & Co., owners, and trade Liverpool–Africa.[2] Captain John Magginnis acquired a letter of marque on 22 July 1805.[1] Captain John Maginnis sailed from Liverpool on 11 August 1805.[3]
While Jane was at the Congo she blew up in 1806, reportedly as the result of a slave rebellion. The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade database reports that almost the entire crew and all the slaves were killed.[3] However, Lloyd's List (LL) reported that Byam, also a slaver gathering slaves at the Congo, had rescued the master, crew, and 25 slaves and delivered them to Suriname (Dutch Guiana).[4][5]
