John St Barbe
John St Barbe (1742-1816) was a prominent English shipbroker and shipowner active in whaling, the transport of convicts, and the slave trade.[1] He was a former member of the British Royal Navy and also offered the services of ship's husband and insurance broker. He appears to have owned at various times a cumulative total of nine to 11 vessels.[2]
St Barbe was one of the owners of Sandown, a slave ship whose voyage of 1793-4 to Sierra Leone and then Jamaica, and then back to London, her captain, Samuel Gamble, recorded.[3] The voyage was unprofitable and this appears to be the only slave vessel under his ownership, and this is appears to be her only such voyage.
