trying to figure it out.
There were at least 130 sea men on slave ships.
In the days of slave ships the conditions for the crew were not much better than those for the captives. There was little time for 'entertainment' - you worked, and you slept, and then you worked again.... leisure time was a thing yet to be invented. Some of the crew might have a squeezebox or tin whistle and play music, but these had to be small as there was little or no spare space on board for such things.
When slaves were brought ashore from slave ships, they were usually inspected, cleaned, and separated before being sold at auctions. The slaves were then auctioned off to the highest bidder, typically plantation owners or slave traders, who would then use them for labor in fields, mines, or households.
Slaves were manacled and packed tightly into the holds of the slave ships.
Not exactly sure... After they are captured though, they are called Helots (slave)
