Union (1791 ship)

Union was launched in 1791 in Liverpool, England. She became a slave ship that the French captured on her first slave voyage. Captain R. Farrington sailed for West Africa on 15 August 1792.

Captain George Hauit acquired a letter of marque for Union on 1 March 1793, just after the outbreak of war with France.

The French privateer Liberty, of Bordeaux, captured seven slave ships before July 1793: Union, Farrington, Little Joe,  Echo,  Mercury,  Hazard,  Prosperity, and  Swift, Roper, master. The capture of Union took place off Bassa.

Robust recaptured Little Joe and Echo. HMS Andromeda (1784) recaptured Prosperity; the cutter HMS Seaflower (1782) recaptured Mercury. Liberty ransomed Swift after plundering her.
