Chance (1786 London ship)
text:
Chance was a schooner launched in Virginia in 1779, probably under another name. From 1786 she traded between London and Africa, though she may have traded in enslaved people within African waters. A tornado on 28 March 1789 upset her. Her crew saved themselves, but abandoned her and the 33 captives on board. By chance, another vessel later was able to rescue the 11 captives by then still alive.
