At least two vessels have been named William Rathbone:
William Rathbone (1809 ship) was launched at Liverpool as a
West Indiaman. During her career she recaptured a British vessel, and was herself captured by an American privateer, but quickly recaptured by the
Royal Navy. Later she traded with Africa, and eventually
Calcutta. She burnt at sea in May 1846 when a cargo of
jute underwent spontaneous combustion.
