Thomas' uncle, Benjamin Slade, was Master Shipwright at Plymouth until his death in 1750, and Thomas replaced him after his death. in 1756,Slade was made joint surveyor of the navy along with colleague William Bately (formerly assistant surveyor of the navy) and thus responsible for the design of all ships built for the Royal Navy[https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/9593/page/2 ''London Gazette,'' 19 June 1756, Issue: 9593, Page:2.].

During this tenure, Slade was responsible for several major design changes. He produced a 'generic design' that was used as a template for the Royal Navy's 74-gun ships and frigates. His '74' designs, startingwith the ''Dublin'' class, were an evolution of current British ships, built to compete with the new French '74's, some of which had been captured during the War of Austrian Succession in 1747. At least forty-six '74's were built to his designs; the last was launched in 1789. Healso designed ''HMS Asia,'' which was the first true 64-gun ship. As a result, the Royal Navy ordered no further 60-gun ships but instead commissioned more 64s. Slade also designed smaller vessels, such as the8-gun Board of Customs cutter,'' HMS Sherborne.''
Out of the 33 ships which were available to Nelson at Trafalgar, eight (''Africa, Victory, Agamemnon, Bellerophon, Defiance, Thunderer, Defence,'' and ''Prince'') were built to Thomas Slade's designs. Two moreof his ships (''Swiftsure'' and ''Berwick'') had been captured by theFrench earlier and fought on the French side. Slade's designs represented 24% of Nelson's ships and 29% of his guns.

     Thomas married Hannah Moore in 1747 in Nacton, Suffolk, England, in St Martin's Church.² Slade was a shipbuilder and from a well-establish shipbuilding family based in Ipswich and Harwich. He probably began as an apprentice in the Deptford yard in 1718, where his uncle, Benjamin Slade, had just become foreman. He was sent to Harwich as naval overseer for the building of the ‘Harwich’, a fourth rate, in 1742. In 1744, Slade became assistant master shipwright at Woolwich. When his uncle died in 1750, Thomas replaced him at Plymouth, becoming a protégé of George Anson, a lord of the Admiralty. He then moved to Woolwich in 1752, Chatham a little more than a fortnight later and, finally, to Deptford in 1753, where he was ideally positioned to act as Anson’s unofficial adviser. In August 1755 he became joint surveyor of the Navy with William Bately; together they designed a number of ships, making improvements to the lines and training a new generation of shipwrights. Slade’s most famous ship was the 100-gun ‘Victory’, designed in 1758 and launched in 1765.

'''Thomas Moore Slade''' was a British picture dealer with premises in Old Bond Street, London. In 1792 in a syndicate with two London bankers and the 7th Lord Kinnaird, he purchased for 350,000 livres 'The Orleans Collection' a very important collection of over 500 paintings formed by the French prince of the blood Philippe d'Orléans, Duke of Orléans, mostly acquired between about 1700 and his death in 1723.
There were protests from the French artists and public, and from the Duke's creditors, and Slade found it prudent to tell the French the pictures were going overland to Calais, but actually to sneak them onto a barge by night, and ship them down the Seine to Le Havre. These paintings were exhibited for sale in London's West End in April 1793 at 125 Pall Mall, where admissions at 1 shilling each reached two thousand a day, and sold to various buyers.
