Diagram from F.J. Bertuch "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" 1805. Weimar publishers,Germany. Owners of the ships divided their hulls into holds with little headroom,so they could transport as many slaves as possible and achieve the highest profits. Unhygienic conditions meant that from 1 in six up to a third of the people would die on such a voyage. The ships transported hundreds of slaves chained tightly to plank beds. They were held in cargo holds with little room to move. | |
