James Ramsay (abolitionist)
The Rev. James Ramsay (25 July 1733 – 1789) was a ship's surgeon, Anglican priest, and leading abolitionist.
==Early life and naval service==
Ramsay was born at Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, the son of William Ramsay, ship's carpenter, and Margaret of Angus. Apprenticed to a local surgeon, and later educated at King's College, Aberdeen from 1750 to 1755, he obtained his MA in 1753 and went on to continue his surgical training in London under Dr. George Macaulay.
Having entered the Navy in 1757, Ramsay served as surgeon aboard the Arundel in the West Indies, under the command of Sir Charles Middleton. In November 1759, the Arundel intercepted a British slave ship, the ''Swift'' and, on boarding the vessel, Ramsay found over 100 slaves living in the most inhumane conditions. Such was the scene of filth and degradation he witnessed, that this incident was to have a lasting effect on Ramsay. While serving at sea he fell and fractured his thigh bone, and was disqualified from future service, remaining lame for the remainder of his life.
