1750: Shore attack on the boats of the Floramell, bound for Barbados (voyage 90265)

African

On a slaving voyage that ended at Barbados in 1750, the Floramell had its boats attacked from the shore. The people aboard had been taken at Windward Coast.

The record gives the numbers as: 172 people were embarked; 153 were landed.

Captain: Linecar, Samuel. Flag: Great Britain. 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.
