Ellis was a French prize, captured in 1797, possibly built that year also. Liverpool merchants purchased her. She made five complete voyages as a slave ship in the triangular trade carrying enslaved people from West Africa to the British West Indies. She was lost at sea on 23 April 1806 on her sixth voyage before she could take on any captives.

3rd voyage transporting enslaved people (1800―1801): Captain Souter sailed from Liverpool in November 1799, bound for Africa, but quickly stranded in Bootle Bay.[5] Soutar and Ellis finally sailed on 15 February 1800. Ellis acquired captives in the Sierra Leone estuary and arrived at Suriname on 1 January 1801 with 220 captives. She arrived back at Liverpool on 16 April. She had left with 44 crew members and had suffered nine crew deaths on the voyage.[6]

In 1801 Ellis was raised. When she got a second letter of marque in 1806 it gave her burthen as 308 tons, or 312 tons, a size reflected in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade database, though not in Lloyd's Register.

Ellis acquired captives at Bance Island and arrived at Suriname 10 April 1802 with 263 captives. She may also have delivered some captives to the Bahamas. From there she reportedly sailed t Antigua and Havana. She sailed for Liverpool on 17 April 1803 and arrived back there on 27 May, from Havana. She had left Liverpool with 38 crew members and she had suffered 14 crew deaths on her voyage.[7]

Fate

Ellis was sold to new owners c.1805. Captain William Browne acquired a letter of marque on 6 March 1806.[9] Captain Brown sailed from Liverpool on 24 March. On 23 April Ellis was lost while going from Gorée to Rio Pongos.[10]Шаблон:Sfnp

In 1806, 33 British enslaving vessels were lost. Five were lost on the coast of Africa.Шаблон:Sfnp During the period 1793 to 1807, war, rather than maritime hazards or resistance by the captives, was the greatest cause of vessel losses among British enslaving vessels.Шаблон:Sfnp

Brown's next command was Шаблон:Ship, which caught fire and exploded in mid-December 1807 while acquiring captives in the Sierra Leone estuary.
