1733: Insurrection aboard the Hof van Zeeland, bound for Curaçao (voyage 10675)

African

On a slaving voyage that ended at Curaçao in 1733, the people aboard the Hof van Zeeland rose against the crew. They had been taken at Cabinda.

The record gives the numbers as: 316 people were embarked; 294 were landed; 22 died on the crossing.

Captain: Moor, Jan de. 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.
