Thames was launched at Southampton in 1790. Until 1798 she sailed across the Atlantic, trading primarily with The Bahamas. She then became a slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people. She made seven voyages transporting enslaved people. After the abolition of the British slave trade in 1807, Thames returned to trading with the West Indies. A French privateer captured Thames on 17 July 1811 and burnt her.

Fate

Lloyd's List reported that the privateer Duc de Dantzig, of 14 guns (18-pounder carronades) and 128 men, of Nantes, had captured Thames, J. Clark, master, on 17 July 1810, and Lady Penrhyn, Burgess, master on 22 July. Thames had been sailing from London to St Vincent's, and Lady Penrhyn from London to Grenada. Both vessels were in ballast, and Duc de Danzig burnt them after taking off the people on board them. She then captured the schooner Ann, which had set out from Barbados to Demerara. Duc de Dantzig put her prisoners aboard Ann and let her proceed; Ann arrived at Barbados on 26 July.[14]

Dorothee Sölle (1998) Dorothee Sölle (Keulen, 30 september 1929 - Göppingen, 27 april 2003) was een Duitse lutherse theologe.

Zij hing een God is dood-theologie aan, maar daarmee bedoelde zij enkel het beeld van de algoede en almachtige God en niet God-an-sich. Zij ijverde voor de 'ontmythologisering' van de Bijbel. Tussen 1968 en 1972 organiseerde zij het Politiek Avondgebed. Zij deed di...
