Nelson Clement Trowbridge, usually doing business as N.C. Trowbridge, was an American businessman who worked as both a merchant and farmer in Poughkeepsie, New York, and a slave trader in the Deep South for approximately 25 years prior to the American Civil War. Trowbridge trafficked in slaves in Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Louisiana. He also became a plantation owner in Mississippi. Trowbridge was indicted by the U.S. government on piracy charges in the case of the Wanderer, an illegal transatlantic slave ship, as he was a co-owner of the ship. Many of the letters written by C. A. L. Lamar about his illegal transatlantic slave trade enterprise of the late 1850s were addressed to Trowbridge ("Trow") in New Orleans.[1] Lamar and Trowbridge, who had done business together for many years in enterprises ranging from breeding racehorses to mining for gold, were responsible for at least one blockade-runner ship, the Ceres, during the American Civil War.
