Captain Musgrave Walker acquired a letter of marque on 22 August 1795. [2] He sailed from Liverpool on 19 September 1795. [3] A French privateer captured Accomplished Quaker and took her into Gorée before she could gather any slaves. [4]
Accomplished Quaker did not appear on the lists of vessels cleared out of English ports bound for Africa. [5]
In 1796, 22 British slave ships were lost. Three of these were lost on their way to Africa. [6] War, not maritime hazards nor slave resistance, was the greatest cause of vessel losses among British slave vessels. [7]
