The transport 1,100 to 1,200 people to Barbados or Jamaica was the reason why England sent the Hercules and the America to Suriname in 1675. The English settled Suriname in 1650. But in 1674 the Dutch gained control of the colony. There were 120 English families living in Suriname at that time. Eighty of those families didn't want to remain there under Dutch control. So England sent the two ships to move those families elsewhere in the Caribbean.
