1684: Insurrection aboard the Koning Salomon, bound for Curaçao (voyage 10209)

African

On a slaving voyage that ended at Curaçao in 1684, the people aboard the Koning Salomon rose against the crew. They had been taken at Congo North.

The record gives the numbers as: 524 people were embarked; 477 were landed.

Captain: Goes, Willem Jansen. Flag: Netherlands. Recorded outcome, in the database’s words: “voyage completed as intended.”

Resistance is recorded only where a surviving document mentions it. The 571 such acts in the record are a floor. Silence in that column is silence in the archive. It says nothing about calm on the ship.
