I have a couple of refs that say this was the biggest ship in the atlantic "566-ton behemoth built by shipwright John Wright in Liverpool in 1797 and named for owners Thomas and John Parr, members of an eminent local slave-trading family... Built to accommodate seven hundred slaves...the Parr proved to be not only the largest Liverpool slaver but the largest of the entire British Atlantic"... Its hard to know which source to believe?
