Several vessels have been named Rachel or Rachael:
Rachel (1783 ship) was launched at Whitby. She primarily traded with the Baltic, but made some voyages as a West Indiaman. A gale caused her crew to abandon her near Memel in October 1817.
Rachel (1795 ship) was launched at Bristol. She spent most of her career as a constant trader, sailing to and from
Nevis. A French privateer captured her in 1803 but a Liverpool letter of marque quickly recaptured here. She was wrecked in July 1811.
Rachael (1801 ship) was launched in 1795 at Spain and may have been taken in prize. She entered British records in 1801. In 1803 she suffered a maritime mishap, and was captured by a French privateer, but recaptured by the British
Royal Navy. She was lost at
Fayal,
Azores in 1810.
Rachel (1810 ship) was launched at Hilton (possibly
South Hylton) or Sunderland, and apparently was initially registered and based at Greenock. In 1812 an American privateer captured her in a notable
single-ship action, but the British
Royal Navy recaptured her almost immediately. She then continued as a general trader and was last listed in 1833.
