Accomplished Quaker (ship)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Several vessels were named Accomplished Quaker in the late 18th and early 19th Century. Owners of slave ships sometimes named their vessels Accomplished Quaker (British), or Willing Quaker (United States), or just Quaker (British) e.g. Quaker, as a barb aimed at the Quaker-led Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade and the role of the Quakers in the movement to abolish the slave trade.[1]
