English: Image: drawn by Captain William Buck RN (ca. 1826-after 1873), an officer of the Royal Navy assigned to the anti-slavery patrol along the West African coast from 1846 to 1860. William Cumming Buck, British (ca. 1826-after 1873) “Plan of the slave deck of the Brazilian ship Saphira (Sapphira) 1848. Plan (detail) of the lower deck of the Brazilian slave ship Saphira (Sapphira). Buck’s ship HMS Grappler captured Saphira at the mouth of the Congo River in July 1848, there were no enslaved people on board. However, the purpose of the vessel could be judged by the bags of cheap farina meant as provisions for the intended captives. Buck’s diagram and accompanying key also illustrate how the slaves would have been separated by sex when inhumanely packed into the hold for their journey. Gift of Jakob and Patricia Isbrandtsen |
