- Source: Union (1791 ship)
Union was launched in 1791 in Liverpool, England. She became a slave ship that the French captured on her first slave voyage. Captain R. Farrington sailed for West Africa on 15 August 1792.
Captain George Hauit acquired a letter of marque for Union on 1 March 1793, just after the outbreak of war with France.
The French privateer Liberty, of Bordeaux, captured seven slave ships before July 1793: Union, Farrington, Little Joe, Echo, Mercury, Hazard, Prosperity, and Swift, Roper, master. The capture of Union took place off Bassa.
Robust recaptured Little Joe and Echo. HMS Andromeda recaptured Prosperity; the cutter HMS Seaflower recaptured Mercury. Liberty ransomed Swift after plundering her.
