Dordin, Peter.
Peter Dordin was a Newport seaman known for his willingness to captain slave ships in the "triangle trade" between Rhode Island, West Africa and the West Indies.
William Vernon (1719-1806) of Newport was a leading Rhode Island slave trader, the first to trade directly with the Southern colonies. He was president of the Eastern Navy Board during the American Revolution; Vernon House served as Rochambeau's headquarters.
