1795: Insurrection aboard the Ann, bound for Kingston (voyage 80246)

On a slaving voyage that ended at Kingston in 1795, the people aboard the Ann rose against the crew. They had been taken at Iles de Los.

The record gives the numbers as: 304 people were embarked; 298 were landed; 6 died on the crossing.

Captain: Mill, John. 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.
