The Middle Passage: onboard a slave ship

1. From 1525 to 1866, 12,500,000 Africans were taken from their homeland and transported across the Atlantic. 2,000,000 Africans did not survive the journey. By the turn of the 18th century, European merchants built vessels capable of transporting hundreds of enslaved people per journey. 2. Before boarding, enslaved people were stripped of their clothing and possessions, and their head was forcibly shaved. 3. Enslaved people spent most of their time below deck. They were segregated by gender and age. Men were shackled but women and children were not enchained. There were no sanitation facilities and diseases were rampant — for instance, dysentery and malaria.

The Middle Passage: onboard a slave ship

4. Enslaved people spent 8 hours a day above deck. They were still separated by gender with a barricado (=a reinforced wall). They were subject to forced exercise. Sometimes, they had to dance and sing to entertain the crew.5. Enslaved captives who did not obey were tortured and beaten. The crew members used a Cat o' nine tail (= a tool designed to inflict maximum pain). Enslaved people who refused to eat their meal of rice and beans, were forced to do so. Sometimes with a speculum oris (= a medieval tool to force open a person's mouth) 6. Women were raped and sexually abused by members of the crew. However they often coordinate mutinies against the captain. However, these revolts were rarely successful.

The Middle Passage: onboard a slave ship

From 1525 to 1866, 12.5 million Africans were taken across the Atlantic; 2 million died during the journey. By the 18th century, European merchants built ships to transport hundreds of enslaved people simultaneously. Before boarding, enslaved individuals were stripped of their belongings and shaved. They spent most of the journey below deck, segregated by gender and age. Men were shackled, but women and children were not. Without sanitation, diseases like dysentery and malaria quickly spread. Enslaved people spent 8 hours above deck, still separated by a barricado. They were forced to exercise and sometimes entertain the crew by singing and dancing. Disobedient captives were beaten with a cat o' nine tails or were forced to eat using a speculum oris. Women faced sexual abuse but often led failed mutinies against the crew.
