Tribune was one of three brigs used as slave ships that were owned by the American slave-trading firm Franklin & Armfield. Tribune was 161 tons and was built by the shipbuilder Hezekiah Childs in Connecticut in approximately 1831.[1]Tribune was initially used as a packet-style coastwise transport between Alexandria, Virginia and New Orleans, Louisiana.[2] Her sisters were Isaac Franklin and Uncas.[3] As of approximately 1836, the master of Tribune was Samuel Bush.[2] According to a report of the Albany Evening Journal that same year, "The after-hold will carry about 80 women, and the other about 100 men...On either side were two platforms running the whole length, one raised a few inches, and the other about half way up to the deck...They were about 5+1⁄2 or 6 feet deep. On them they lie as close as they can stow away."[1] Around 1837 she was sold to slave trader William H. Williams, owner of the Yellow House in Washington, D.C.[4]
