1768: Insurrection aboard the Tryal, bound for Savanna la Mar (voyage 91405)

On a slaving voyage that ended at Savanna la Mar in 1768, the people aboard the Tryal rose against the crew. They had been taken at Anomabu, Adja, Agga.

The record gives the numbers as: 231 people were embarked; 230 were landed; 1 died on the crossing.

Captain: Price, Ebenezer. 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.
