A slave's journey to a life of servitude often began in the interior of Africa with his or her capture as a prize of war, a tribute given by a weak tribal state to a more powerful one, or by outright kidnapping by local traders. They are placed into canoes and taken to the ship in port, cleaned up, inspected (paid for) or rejected (beheaded) and placed in the ship. Once the ship is filled (a few days), they leave for the New World. There does not seem that there is much of a place for them to wait.
