The data in the table below are derived from documents concerning the slave trade in the Irish University Press "1000-volume series" reprints of British Parliamentary Papers:

The list does therefore not contain vessels taken to Vice-Admiralty Courts or the other joint courts before April 1844. The numbers per year can be compared with those given in appendix A of Christopher Lloyd's "The Navy and the Slave Trade", for the total number of vessels detained:
