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.
Slaves were manacled and packed tightly into the holds of the slave ships.

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.
