Kitty's Amelia was Jeune Amélie launched in France in 1802. A British letter of marque captured her in 1803 and she became a Liverpool-based slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people. Between 1804 and 1807 she made four voyages transporting enslaved people, but her chief claim to fame is that she performed the last legal slaving voyage for a British vessel. She was reported wrecked in 1809.
