P_10433_2572 – Blacket (Capt)
Capt. Blacket [sic] was the owner of a slaving voyage of the Susannah in 1767 from London to West Africa and Savannah. To date he has not been definitively traced but was possibly John Blackett, whose will, made in 1794 when he was at the house of his son-in-law John Dixon in Totteridge, shows him as the former commander of a merchantman named the King of Prussia, with property at Monkshouse and very probably therefore the Captain John Blackett who undertook the original lighthouses on Farne island c. 1776.

Sources: The inventory of a William Blackett of St Botolph Aldgate master of the merchant ship Duchess of Tuscany dated 1786 is at PROB 31/752/358 appears unconnected. A ship named the Duchess of Tuscany made a slave voyage [TASTDB no. 81082] to Suriname in 1800 for which no ownership or port of origin is shown, and which has not to date been traced in the Lloyd's Registers for 1799, 1800 or 1801; a log for the voyage of the Grand Duchess of Tuscany from West Africa to London in 1790 is at the BL, Add MS 61978, although the itinerary in Lloyd's Register 1790 for the ship is LoBarbary. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/farne-islands/features/lighthouses-on-the-farne-islands; https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/16199/lot/293/ and https://www.theblacketts.com/node/111 [both accessed 09/06/2022]
