1700: Insurrection aboard the Concord (voyage 21412)

African

On a slaving voyage in 1700, the people aboard the Concord rose against the crew. They had been taken at Bonny.

The record gives the numbers as: 251 people were embarked; 174 were landed.

Captain: Foster, Henry. Flag: Great Britain. Recorded outcome, in the database’s words: “captured by Portuguese – after embarkation of slaves.”

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.
