Liverpool Packet - Fate

Fate

After the war, her owners sold her in Kingston, Jamaica; her subsequent fate is not known. A vessel with the identical name, however, with the master given as Steven Singleton, is mentioned carrying emigrants to the United States from England in 1817 in the Memorials of the Clarke Family.

The War of 1812 was the last time the British allowed privateering. The practice was coming to be seen as politically inexpedient and of diminishing value in maintaining Britain's naval supremacy.

Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    ... it is not only our fate but our business to lose innocence, and once we have lost that it is futile to attempt a picnic in Eden.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    Sternly, remorselessly, fate guides each of us; only at the beginning, when we’re absorbed in details, in all sorts of nonsense, in ourselves, are we unaware of its harsh hand.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    That’s life. Whichever way you turn, fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
    Martin Goldsmith, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Al Roberts (Tom Neal)
