Sally was launched in 1782 at Liverpool as a West Indiaman. She made one voyage as a whaler and one as an East Indiaman sailing to Bengal under charter to the British East India Company (EIC).

Captain Charles Kneale sailed Sally from Liverpool on 5 August 1805. The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade Database states that she was "shipwrecked or destroyed, before slaves embarked". [8] Lloyd's List (LL) reported on 10 December that Sally, Neale, master, from Liverpool to Africa, had put into Barbados dis-masted and that she had been condemned. [9]
Sally did not appear on the lists of vessels cleared to Africa from ports in England. [10] In 1805, 30 British enslaving vessels were lost, five of them on the outbound leg of their voyages. [11] 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. [12]
