Can you name me one ship that sailed from NH as a slave trader?

Visitors to Portsmouth, NH still express surprise when they discover that this northern town was intimately tied into the "triangle trade" from the earliest days of settlement. Ships that became slavers like the Nightingale were built here and ships like Exeter delivered slaves for sale. Prominent white merchants profited from these enterprises and kept slaves in town. The independent work of historian Valerie Cunningham continues to shed light on African-American life in this small New Hampshire city. This page is part of series on slavery drawn from the Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail, written by Valerie and Mark Sammons. (JDR)
