Towards Abolition: The Final Years of the British Slave Trade, 1783-1807
No full textThis chapter shows that the British transatlantic slave trade in its final quarter century was a thriving affair which delivered more Africans to the Americas than in any previous quarter-century period. The Caribbean remained easily the most important market region for the disembarkation of these captives. British slaving merchants always looked for the best markets from which they could garner good sales and high average prices and, in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic war years between 1793 and 1807, they were able to dispatch slaves to non-Anglophone markets in the French, Dutch and Danish Caribbean as well as to Anglophone destinations. On the eve of the abolition of the British slave trade in 1807, the ‘Guinea’ traffic was still economically viable, despite abolitionist pressures, but the most important British Caribbean destination, Jamaica, was the one island where slave deliveries stood a good chance of continuing and increasing in the future: other British islands in the eastern Caribbean had reached a point in their development where fresh slave imports were not so vital owing to demographic improvements among the black population
Shipping in the Eighteenth-Century British Atlantic Slave Trade: A Quantitative Study
No full textThis quantitative study of ships in the eighteenth-century British slave trade shows that nearly half were in the 100–200 ton range while just over a further quarter were between 200 and 300 tons, which lay within the normal range of ocean-going merchant vessels. Thus, large ‘Guinea’ vessels of over 300 tons were less frequently deployed, though some existed. Variations existed in the mean tonnage of vessels trading with different West African regions, with the Bight of Biafra and West-Central Africa attracting larger British slave ships than other regions. The main delivery areas in the Americas for slaves taken on British ships – Virginia, the Carolinas, Barbados and Jamaica – all registered an upward trend in the amount of shipping tonnage in the ‘Guinea’ traffic in the eighteenth century. Though eighteen different rigs can be found among eighteenth-century British slave vessels, six rigs were mainly used and, among them, ships were easily the most common, accounting for almost three-fifths of the vessels in the British slave trade. Though most ships were not specifically constructed as slave ships, some specialist vessels were built as such towards the end of the eighteenth century. Copper sheathing helped to protect the hulls of slave vessels from the American Revolutionary War onwards. Most ships in the British slave trade were between eight and ten years old. More armaments and more crew were found on slave ships in war years than in peacetime. The data analysed here show that the shipping in the British slave trade adapted over time to market demands and that, as the eighteenth century progressed, productivity improved in arming and manning those vessels
