1795: Attack from shore on the Isabella (voyage 18207)

African

On a slaving voyage in 1795, the Isabella was attacked from the shore.

Captain: Given, Thomas. Flag: Great Britain. Recorded outcome, in the database’s words: “captured by the French – before slaves embarked.”

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.
