Enterprize

The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Enterprize as Slaver. It was lost in Unknown. Recorded depth: 5m. Recorded condition: Partly buried by sand in gully, broken up. Winch, mast knees visible.

Enterprize was a 17th-century English slave ship, lost in 1645 near the coast of Ireland during a storm. It sank with no lives lost, though its cargo of enslaved Africans and trade goods was lost; its significance lies in being one of the earliest recorded English slaving ventures in the North Atlantic.
