A trade of Liverpool to Africa often signals participation in the Atlantic triangular slave trade. On the one hand, Chambers does not appear the pre-eminent database of trans-Atlantic slave voyages.[3] On the other hand, Chambers, Bent, master, was lost off Wexford, Ireland in 1795 while sailing from Jamaica to Liverpool,[4] which would represent the third segment of the triangular trade. She had arrived in Jamaica, from Africa, circa October 1794, a voyage that would represent the second leg of the trade.
