Despite the vast literature on the transatlantic slave trade, the
role of sailors aboard slave ships has remained unexplored. This
book fills that gap by examining every aspect of their working
lives, from their reasons for signing on a slaving vessel, to their
experiences in the Caribbean and the American South after their
human cargoes had been sold. It explores how they interacted with
men and women of African origin at their ports of call, from the
Africans they traded with, to the free black seamen who were their
crewmates, to the slaves and ex-slaves they mingled with in the
port cities of the Americas. Most importantly, it questions their
interactions with the captive Africans they were transporting
during the dread middle passage, arguing that their work
encompassed the commoditisation of these people ready for sale.
