Prosperity was a slave ship launched in Strangford, Ireland in 1788. She traded in the area and then to Dominica. From 1792 she made two voyages in the Atlantic triangular slave trade. On both voyages French privateers captured her. In the first case the Royal Navy recaptured her and she completed her voyage. In the second case her captor sent her into France.
