Elizabeth was a snow launched in 1806 at Liverpool for the slave trade. She left Liverpool on 19 April 1807 and gathered slaves in West Africa.[1] On 17 October the French privateer Général Ernouf,[4] under the command of the notable French privateer captain Alexis Grassin,[5] captured Elizabeth after Elizabeth had embarked her slaves. Général-Ernouf sent her into Guadeloupe with her cargo of 176 Negroes.[3]
