Best Answer

Sir John Hawkins had the dubious distinction of becoming the first slave-ship captain to bring Africans to the Americas. Hawkins was a religious man who insisted that his crew "serve God daily" and "love another", and his ship, appropriatelycalled "the good ship Jesus," left the shores of his native England for Africa in October 1562. He arrived at Sierra Leone, and enslaved three hundred Africans, those which didn't die from the journey or suicide, he sold in the Americas.
