1788: Insurrection aboard the Antoinette, bound for Cayes (Les) (voyage 31968)

African

On a slaving voyage that ended at Cayes (Les) in 1788, the people aboard the Antoinette rose against the crew. They had been taken at Cap Lopez.

The record gives the numbers as: 154 people were embarked; 117 were landed.

Captain: Vamier, J-P. Flag: France. 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.
