Resource (ship)
list of ships with the same or similar names
Several vessels have been named Resource:
Resource (1798 ship) was launched at Bermuda in 1792 and sailed from Liverpool from 1798 on. She made four voyages as a slave ship. She was captured in 1805 at the very beginning of her fifth voyage.
Resource (1804 ship) was launched in Calcutta as a country ship; that is, she traded out of India but only east of the Cape of Good Hope. In 1807 the French captured her, but she returned to British ownership. She participated as a transport in the British invasion of Java. After 1813 she traded between Britain and India under a license from the British East India Company (EIC). From about the mid-1830s she traded primarily between Britain and Australia, and in 1839 she transported immigrants to South Australia. In 1843 she started sailing between Britain and Quebec until December 1846 when her crew had to abandon her at sea while on a voyage back to Britain from Quebec.
Resource (1805 ship) was launched at Whitby in 1805.

Why this record matters
“Resource (ship)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Resource, ship and list provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 26, 2021. The linked authority identifier is Q104859446. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1798, 1792, 1805 and 1804.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
