| Description: | The Slave trade was prosecuted very successfully whilst I was at Havana. Numbers of fast sailing vessels were constantly fitting out for the coast of Africa & several Cargoes of the horrible merchandize arrived. The slaves were taken out & carried to houses constructed expressly for them what were called the barracoons just without the walls of the city where they are well treated until restored to health & spirits. | ||
