Chance (ship)

Several vessels have been named Chance:

• Chance (1786 ship) was launched in 1786 at St John's Newfoundland. She became a slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people. Circa 1787 she was condemned on the coast of Africa as unfit for service.
• Chance (1786 London ship) was a schooner launched in Virginia in 1779, probably under another name. From 1786 she traded between England and Africa, though may have traded in slaves within African waters. A tornado on 28 March 1789 upset her. Her crew were saved, but 22 of the 33 slaves onboard died.
• Chance (1799 ship) was built in India c.1799. She was captured and recaptured before being lost near Saint Mary's Bay, Madagascar in May 1799.
