Based on the dates and reading I've done constructing this article, there have to be 2+ ships named Seaflower. The first (a sister ship to Mayflower) was sunk in Bermuda in March, 1622. The second was used in settling the Providence Island colony in 1631-1632. The second Seaflower may have existed past 1676. Research on this name is scant--there are just bits and pieces. If anyone has a good source, please be bold and update the article. Thanks StevePrutz (talk) 18:31, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article states that in 1676 the Seaflower was “in use as a transport for slaves from Africa to the Carribean”, but the reference(24) and other sources make it clear that the ship was carrying enslaved indigenous Americans from NES England after the King Philip war. It has been reported that 180 slaves were on board. This sad part of American history seems to be obscured all too many times, I assume because people do not want to acknowledge it.. I hope you will correct the article, or clarify. I am not logged into Wikipedia, but will follow up in re-reading the article in hopes of finding a correction.
