About This Book

The author provides a firsthand account of the slave trade on the West African coast, documenting how ships were modified to confine captives, the procurement and sale procedures at coastal ports such as Bonny, and the day-to-day conditions endured by those aboard. He describes temporary deckhouses, barriers and restraints, the oppressive heat, smoke and disease, and the exchanges between ship crews and local rulers and traders. The narrative records the widespread suffering and high mortality among enslaved people and seamen, and presents practical observations aimed at revealing the trade's brutality.
