Liverpool Hero (ship)

Several vessels have been named Liverpool Hero for the port of Liverpool

• Liverpool Hero (1781 ship) was built in France in 1777, almost certainly under another name. She was taken in prize 1780. In 1781 she entered into the triangular trade in enslaved people. From 1781 she made six complete voyages from Liverpool as a slave ship and was lost in 1794 off the coast of Africa on her seventh voyage.
• Liverpool Hero (1798 ship) was built in Spain in 1791, almost certainly under another name. She was taken in prize and entered British records in 1798 as a West Indiaman. She then entered into the triangular trade in enslaved people. She made one complete voyage as a slave ship and was lost in 1801 near Suriname on her second voyage.
• Liverpool Hero (1809 ship) was a Danish vessel taken in prize almost surely in 1809. She first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1811 but was already reported to be trading between England and Spain in late 1809 and 1810 with masters Given and Wilson. The USS Chesapeake captured and burnt her in 1813. The capture gave rise to two court cases in US courts.
