The number of slaves on a large ship during the transatlantic slave trade varied significantly, but it typically ranged from 200 to over 600 individuals. Some of the largest ships could carry even more, with records indicating capacities of up to 1,000 slaves. Conditions were extremely cramped and inhumane, leading to high mortality rates during voyages. The specific number depended on the ship's size, design, and the practices of the slave traders.
