1793: Insurrection aboard the Eagle, bound for Kingston (voyage 81097)

African

On a slaving voyage that ended at Kingston in 1793, the people aboard the Eagle rose against the crew. They had been taken at Anomabu, Adja, Agga.

The record gives the numbers as: 362 people were embarked; 353 were landed; 9 died on the crossing.

Captain: Campbell, Patrick. 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.
