Slave ships primarily included merchant vessels, such as brigs, barques, and schooners, which were adapted for the transatlantic slave trade. These ships were often modified to maximize cargo space, allowing them to carry a large number of enslaved individuals in cramped and inhumane conditions. The notorious "slave ship" design featured a tightly packed layout with minimal ventilation and sanitation, leading to high mortality rates during voyages. Additionally, some naval ships were repurposed for this grim trade.
