1786: Cut off: an unnamed Dutch ship (voyage 99018)

African

On a slaving voyage in 1786, an unnamed Dutch ship was cut off, and the record does not say by whom or how. The people aboard had been taken at Windward Coast.

The record gives the numbers as: 600 people were embarked.

Flag: Netherlands. Recorded outcome, in the database’s words: “cut off by Africans from shore, ship did not reach the Americas.”

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.
