England began to dominate the transatlantic slave trade in the late 17th century, particularly from the 1700s onwards. By the 18th century, British ships were responsible for transporting a significant portion of enslaved Africans to the Americas. This dominance continued until the early 19th century when the British Parliament abolished the slave trade in 1807.
Lloyd's of London played a significant role in insuring slave ships and their cargo during the transatlantic slave trade. They provided insurance policies that protected slave owners from financial loss if their ships or human cargo were damaged, lost, or captured. This involvement in insuring slave ships contributed to the profitability of the slave trade.
