La Amistad was going from Havana, Cuba to Puerto Principe, now known as Camagüey . Some of the slaves travelled across the ocean from Africa to Cuba on a ship called Tecora. The Tecora snuck the slaves into Havana, Cuba where they were sold at auction to Montes and Ruiz. Montes and Ruiz had to pay a bride to get papers to show the slaves had been in Cuba for 19 years. (It was against the law at that time to import new slaves). The newly bought slaves were put on a scooner called L'Amistad. The schooner set out for Puerto Principe.
