1814: Insurrection aboard the Isabela, bound for Rio Pongo (voyage 7536)

African

On a slaving voyage that ended at Rio Pongo in 1814, the people aboard the Isabela rose against the crew. They had been taken at Rio Pongo.

The record gives the numbers as: 73 people were embarked; 64 were landed.

Captain: Pujadas, Felix. Flag: Spain / Uruguay. Recorded outcome, in the database’s words: “vice-Admiralty Court, Sierra Leone, condemned.”

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.
