1797: Insurrection aboard the NS do Rosario S Antônio e Almas, bound for Cape of Good Hope (voyage 49378)

African

On a slaving voyage that ended at Cape of Good Hope in 1797, the people aboard the NS do Rosario S Antônio e Almas rose against the crew. They had been taken at Mozambique.

The record gives the numbers as: 353 people were embarked; 324 were landed.

Captain: Domingues, José. Flag: Portugal / Brazil. Recorded outcome, in the database’s words: “captured by crew, did not land slaves in the Americas.”

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.
