For other ships named Ann (ship), see [Ann (ship) (disambiguation)](/source/Ann_(ship)_(disambiguation)).

***Ann*** was a [slave ship](/source/Slave_ship) that sailed from Liverpool in 1807 in the [triangular trade](/source/Triangular_trade) in enslaved persons. As of December 2022, her origins are obscure. *Ann*, William Brown, master sailed from England on 4 May 1807.[1][a]

She arrived at Sierra Leone from Liverpool and by September was at "Kiltann" (or "Kittanu"). In mid-December she was on the [Windward Coast](/source/Windward_Coast) when she exploded with the loss of some 100 captives and some crew.[2] Apparently she had caught fire. Some crew survived.

*Minerva* acquired about 100 surviving captives and took them to Barbados.[3][b]

*Ann* does not appear in the most complete record of losses among enslaving ships,[4] or captains of enslaving ships,[5] though Brown does.[6]

## Notes

1. William Brown was a highly experienced captain of slave ships. Between 1792 and 1807, he made 13 voyages, involving nine vessels and four owners.[6]

1. *Minerva* was probably [*Minerva*](/source/Minerva_(1795_ship)), which had acquired captives in the Sierra Leone estuary in 1807, and had arrived at Barbados on 8 February 1808. William Ackers and William Brown were part-owners of *Minerva*. Brown had been captain of [*Ellis*](/source/Ellis_(1797_ship)), which had been lost in 1806, and was also an Ackers-owned enslaving ship.
