# List of ships named Elizabeth

Numerous vessels have borne the name Elizabeth:
* Elizabeth (1786 ship) was launched at Bermuda in 1786 (or 1790). She first appears in Lloyd's Register in 1802. She then made four voyages as a slave ship, during the second of which a French privateer captured her; the British Royal Navy quickly recaptured her. After the end of the British slave trade in 1807, she spent a little over a year as a hired armed tender under contract to the British Royal Navy. She returned to mercantile service trading with Madeira or Africa, until in late in 1809 another French privateer captured her.
* Elizabeth (1798 ship) was launched at Hamburg in 1798. British owners purchased her in 1813. She traded with the Mediterranean and elsewhere. She was at the Cape of Good Hope in November 1817 when a group of convicts and army deserters took possession of her. They ran her onshore a few days later, wrecking her.
* Elizabeth (1798 Lancaster ship) was launched at Lancaster in 1798. She made five complete voyages as a slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people. Spanish privateers captured her in 1805 while she was on her sixth slave voyage after she had embarked slaves.
