- weapons , goods,captured slaves
- Most slaves were from Africa
- Hundreds of slaves were put in a ship with barely any space to breath
- Slaves were sold like items in a market
- there was violence all over the ship
- slaves were punished if they didn't want to eat - they were hanged upside down
- some slaves were thrown off the ship with cannon balls chained to their feet.
- many slaves died because of hunger and cruelty , many were murdered to set an example to other slaves so they wouldn't rebel.
