[8] A typical voyage is that of the brigantine "Sanderson" of
Newport. She was fitted out in March, 1752, and carried,
beside the captain, two mates and six men, and a cargo of
8,220 gallons of rum, together with "African" iron, flour,
pots, tar, sugar, and provisions, shackles, shirts, and water.
Proceeding to Africa, the captain after some difficulty sold
his cargo for slaves, and in April, 1753, he is expected in
Barbadoes, as the consignees write. They also state that
slaves are selling at L33 to L56 per head in lots. After a
stormy and dangerous voyage, Captain Lindsay arrived, June 17,
1753, with fifty-six slaves, "all in helth & fatt." He also
had 40 oz.
