Passive Slave Trade

A TEAM ADventure expedition

Welcome to this adventure expedition! Get together as a TEAM and prepare yourself for the upcoming weeks.

TEAMWORK In this adventure expedition you will work closely together with your team and by helping each other you will try to overcome challenges. For same tasks it is wise to work alone and compare results with your group afterwards and sometimes it will be a good idea to work together right from the start. Sometimes you can only accomplish the task together with your team. Work hard and together as a team do the Check-Out Quiz at every camp to gain TEAM points. After the final Camp there will be a graded quiz that all of you will have to do on your own. However, your individual results will also be added up and then the most successful team will be celebrated. Decide now on a Team Name and let your teacher know before you continue.

Welcome Explorer! You will travel along the path and find challenges, tasks and resources which you have to accomplish. When you think you are ready to continue to the next stage, enter the first Camp. But you can only enter the camp if you know the password, which you will know if you paid attention on your way. In this first stage you will prepare yourself for the upcoming expedition. Photo by Fabio Comparelli on Unsplash

This is the BACKGROUND INFO Stage in which you will learn about the British Slave Trade.

You found a short cut. It may be a dangerous path through the jungle. Only use this path if you can't follow the main path, because some team members are ill. If you use this short-cut, remember to return to Camp 1 as soon as your team is complete!

The slave trade

Look at the plan to understand the cruel conditions under which slaves had been transported across the Atlantic.

Plan of a slave ship

292 slaves could be transported on this level under deck. They had hardly enough space to lie down.

It was almost impossible to stand below deck. Slaves had to crawl if they wanted to move.

130 slaves were assigned spaces on shelves, where they had hardly enough space to sit upright.

Men, women and children were separated. Women were transported on the left, boys in the middle and men on the right. Small children were allowed to move between the areas.

Many of these could not even sit upright, as they were hunched under the shelves where more slaves were slowed.

There was a lot more space reserved for the goods like food and water than for the African captives.

There was no toilet. As a result there was a horrible stench and many slaves became ill. About 20% of the group died during the journey. Sick or dead slaves were thrown overboard.

For a few hours a day, African captives were held on deck and were forced to dance and move around so that they would stay healthy. There were also fed on deck. But there was never enough food.

This was the captain's cabin.

These cabins were reserved for the crew.

Men were usually shackled together at the legs or wrists. Women were usually not shackled.

About 20-30 slaves were held under the poop deck and next to the captain's cabin.

A typical slave ship like this one could transport more than 400 African slaves. But there were cases in which such a ship would transport up to 609 human captives.
