Hope (ship)
The ''Hope'' was an American brig class merchant ship involved in the Maritime Fur Trade along the northwest coast of North America and discovery in the Pacific Ocean. Earlier the vessel was involved in the slave trade.
==Early voyages==
Sailing out of Newport, Rhode Island the ''Hope'' was involved in bringing Africans to the United States to be sold as slaves as part of the Middle Passage.〔
〕 In 1765, the brig was under the command of Captain Nathaniel Mumford.〔 On March 17, 1765 a revolt occurred on the ship:
There was a passenger revolt aboard the brigantine Hope while it was bringing slaves from the coast of Senegal and Gambia to Connecticut. How did that happen? –Well, the captain, who had beaten several of his crewmen, had been killed and his body thrown overboard, and so the black cargo, seeing such discord among their captors, figured they maybe had a chance. In their revolt they killed one crew member and wounded several others. On this day their revolt was suppressed by killing seven of them.〔
The following year the vessel brought in 100 slaves to Rhode Island.〔
