Why quotes?

By the way this article is not just a rehash of wikipedia like most stuff. Somebody did research. I know because I have no money to subscribe and I thought surely it's all on wikipedia. But there is literally nothing about Amelia



I found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_(1795_ship) which may be that ship and it's indicated it may have been a slaver and is in the ballpark of the right time period.

Ironically there was an HMS Amelia that was first used to defend slavery and then used to uphold abolishment of the slave trade https://yarmouthmuseums.wordpress.com/2021/06/15/the-hms-ame...



This can be it...


Yes I saw it and it's very little info

Maybe. The seven sentences that are not paywall blocked didn't give any references and spent 1/4 of that talking about another more well-known ship.

Here is a blog post about the ship. It may or may not be better than the paywalled post.[0]

Your link seems to be about another ship.
