- Charleston, D.S. 1p.and end.by T.Jefferson with a statement on U.S.policy on slavery. Presented by Morris Duane; Nov. 26, 1963. The Semiramis was one of South Carolina merchant Samuel Grove's slave ships that was involved in the legal slave trade to Charleston in 1807. The Semiramis was captured on December 15, 1807 off Cape Maize (the straights between Cuba and Florida) by the Le Reparateur. This vessel was a privateer that was apparently owned by a Spanish subject but operated under a letter of marque issued by General Louis Ferrand - the commander of French forces on the Eastern half of the island of Hispaniola, then waging the final phases of the Haitian War for Independence. The Le Reparateur brought the Semiramis and her cargo of enslaved individuals to Santiago, Cuba, where the individuals were sold into slavery and the proceeds of the sale (apparently $126,000) awarded to the owners of the privateer. General physical description: 12-3/4x7-3/4 Other Descriptive Information: See NY Evening Post, 1808 February 15. Capture of the slave ship Semiramis.
