This file is devoted to presenting basic Shipping Timeline information in a global perspective for website readers. The items are often sketchy, and some have been extracted from other websites managed by Dan Byrnes. Where possible, ships will have their date-of-departure noted as the compilers believe that a ship's departure date gives some indications of the business plan of the owners, whatever the outcome of the voyage. These Timelines will be added-to intermittently, as new data and new e-mail arrives. Book titles will be entered according to the timeframes they treat. -Ed

He was managing partner for 12 voyages between 1723-1729 and invested in other voyages. From 1723, Saunders began selling slaves in Charleston Sth Carolina, which found that half its slave ships came from Bristol. To 1730, Saunders, who sometimes himself went on a voyage, also shipped slaves to Jamaica, Barbados, St Kitts, Nevis, and York Town America. He generally had four ships on voyages at any one time. Saunders sometimes dealt in Bristol with hias old employer, Richard Henvil, the Day Brothers, the Jefferis Brothers, Thomas Freke and Noblet Ruddock. In 1724, Saunders partnered with major Bristol slaver merchants, William Jefferis and Isaac Hobhouse, and with other investors they acquired ships Susanna, Virginia Galley, in 1725 the Serelion, in 1726 the Tunbridge Galley and in 1727 the Robert Galley (which was captured by the Spanish in 1729). In 1728, Saunders partnered with James Laroche, a Bristol slaving agent in South Cariolina, who had links to New Calabar on the Bight of Biafra. By 1730, Saunders was associated with at least four ships, Aurora, Rainbow, St Mary Redcliffe Snow and Virgin Galley. Saunders however was bankrupt by 1739/1740.

1732: James Oglethorpe receives a charter from George II to establish Georgia, a new colony south of South Carolina. Oglethorpe had intended Georgia to become a haven for impoverished debtors in English debtors prisons, for a new start in life, but Georgia grew as a military outpost facing the Spanish at Augustine. The Georgia trustees had distrusted the use of slaves in Georgia due to security risks, fearing a slave insurrection would arise in a new frontier colony.
