Lapwing (1787 sloop)
''Lapwing'' was a sloop of 34 tons (bm), launched in 1787, that in 1790 traded between London and Africa. ''Lloyd's Register'' gives her master as Williams and her owner as G. Sharpe.〔(''Lloyd's Register'' (1791), seq. no. L46. )〕
Granville Sharpe acquired her to facilitate the work of the St. George's Bay Company in providing a safe haven for destitute Africans in Sierra Leone and elsewhere.
The broker for the company purchased ''Lapwing'' for £186 on 12 February 1790 at the Customs House.〔Hoare (1820), pp.349-50.〕 ''Lapwing'' herself was in the "condemned hold", a location in Wapping, London where ships seized for smuggling were held before Customs disposed of them.
==The ''Lapwing'' Expedition==
''Lapwing'' set sail for Sierra Leone in late 1790 carrying relief supplies for the settlers there. On the return journey in 1791 she carried the Temne prince John Naimbanna to London. During his stay in London, Naimbanna became friends with Henry Thornton and Granville, and when Naimbanna converted to Christianity he adopted the forenames Henry and Granville in their honour.
