Africa, Wood, master (late M'Cormick), was on a voyage from Jamaica to London in 1781 when she sprang a leak in the Atlantic Ocean. Her crew set fire to Africa; Trecothick, Greaves, master, and Nancy, Cook, master, rescued the crew.[2]

A later report stated Trecothick, like Africa, had sprung a leak after having left the Gulf of Mexico on her way to London, and that as in the case of Africa, her crew had set fire to Trecothick.[3]
