We have been learning about the famous Georgian, Olaudah Equiano. What do you know about his experience on a slave ship? What were the conditions like on board this vessel? How would you feel about being in such a place?
On the slave ship people were confined. this created copious perspiration. As this caused sickness the air was filled with a extraordinary pestilential disease. people suffocated.Because this caused death people had to go below deck.
The first thing which saluted my eyes when I arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor and waiting for its cargo. I was immediately handled and tossed up to see if I were known by some of the crew; and I was now persuaded that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits and that they were going to kill me. Their appearance seemed so much from ours, their long hair, and the language they spoke made me believe this. Their was no more hope for me.
The experience for Equiano was he could hardly breath under the deck because of a unimaginable stench. Also the conditions were pestilential. And after while all that was happening he was confined in a bunch of slaves!
Equiano had a bad experience on the slave ship and the condition was bad on the ship .It was stench on the ship because there was too many people on board.
It was hard for the slaves because they could barely move and some children drowned in tubs because there was no space.People were also sweating and the sweating caused a infectious disease
people got copios perspiration it then lead them to pestilential you disease. People were so confined that there wasn't enough air. People surfcated and then died
