Slave ships were often not allowed to dock at port due to the fear of disease outbreaks, such as yellow fever or smallpox, which could spread among the crew, enslaved individuals, and local populations. Additionally, there were social and political pressures, as the visibility of slave ships could incite public outrage and resistance against the transatlantic slave trade. Ports sometimes implemented regulations to restrict or monitor the arrival of such ships to mitigate these risks.
