Golden Grove (1793 ship)

Golden Grove was launched at Southampton in 1783, but probably under another name. In 1794 she was a slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people. Under new ownership she wrecked in late 1795. Her loss gave rise to case on insurance still quoted at least some 70 years later.

For other ships with the same name, see Golden Grove (ship).
