The SULLAMANY, owned by Haji Seroo bin Yacoob, allegedly of Bombay (although he claimed to have moved his domicile), figured in Vice Admiralty Court proceedings in 1817. Seroo was found guilty of having brought fourteen slaves indirectly from Africa under a British flag. ("The Bombay Country Ships" - Anne Bulley). This may be the same ship of 679 tons owned by Hajee Suroor bin Yacoote of Muscat recorded as being used as a troop transport to the Red Sea in 1801/2.

All I have is that she was a “country ship” sailing under British pass and colours in 1816 when detained in the Persian Gulf by HMS Favourite for having slaves on board for sale at Basra. with thanks Jenny Fawcett ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MARINERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
