Summary edit

Description
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 slave schooner Espranca” 1846-1849.

Watercolour showing the clandestine “slave deck” of the Brazilian schooner Esperança, (Espranza, 142 tons) captured by Buck’s ship HMS Grappler circa 1846-1849. Buck’s drawing depicts an empty space with a few cooking implements surrounded by casks. This space was intended to hold hundreds of enslaved people, packed as close as possible with inhumane efficiency. Slave traders were often discovered before they landed, but their intentions were known by these hidden decks and the presence of extra provisions needed for a slaving voyage.
