Saville (ship)
Several vessels have been named Saville (or Savile, or Savill):
- Saville (1777 ship) was launched in 1777 at Bristol as a West Indiaman. In 1778 to 1779 she sailed as a privateer and made two captures. She then returned to trading. She suffered two maritime incidents, one in 1784, and a second in August 1785, when she was lost at Port Maria, Jamaica.
- Saville (1778 ship) (or Savile) was launched in 1773 in New Jersey, under another name. In 1778 Samuel Enderby purchased a vessel named Rockhampton, which may or may not have been the launch-name, and renamed her Saville. Saville then made four voyages as a whaler in the British southern whale fishery. Between the second and third the French captured her, but a British privateer recaptured her. Saville returned to England in 1785 and was last listed circa 1787.
- Savill (1803 ship), of 143 tons (bm), was launched at Shields in 1803.[1] She was captured on 16 January 1806 while she was sailing from Riga to London, and taken into Holland.[2]
