1790: Cut off: the Eliza, bound for Grenada (voyage 81168)

African

On a slaving voyage that ended at Grenada in 1790, the Eliza was cut off, and the record does not say by whom or how. The people aboard had been taken at Iles de Los.

The record gives the numbers as: 250 people were embarked; 229 were landed.

Captain: Cannell, Thomas. 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.
