  • An African Slave in Guernsey by Brycchan Carey

    An African Slave in Guernsey by Brycchan Carey

    1 Olaudah Equiano: An African Slave in Guernsey by Brycchan Carey It is sometimes said that there were no slaves in Guernsey and, clearly, the island was not a major centre of slave-trading. However, its geographical position ensured that throughout the era of slavery, approximately from the end of the fifteenth to the middle of the eighteenth centuries, it was visited by ships from major slave-trading ports such as Bristol, Nantes, St. Malo, and Amsterdam, as well as by ships from the many smaller slave-trading towns and villages found in every country in Western Europe. Most of these ships would have carried few or no slaves. The notorious ‘triangular trade’ was so named to describe the process by which European manufactured goods were shipped to Africa, African slaves were shipped to the New World, and the produce of the slave-worked plantations was shipped back to Europe. Most of the ships involved in the slave trade that docked at Guernsey would thus have been carrying hammers, knives, and muskets, or sugar, cotton, and tobacco, rather than a human cargo. Nevertheless, these ships were as much a part of the slave trade as they were when carrying slaves in the middle passage. In addition, although the notion of a ‘triangular trade’ reflects a general pattern of behaviour, in practice there was often considerable deviation from the pattern. Some slaves were indeed brought to Europe, and were sold openly in Bristol, London, and Liverpool, as well as in Nantes, Marseilles, and St. Malo. In the eighteenth century in particular, aristocratic women were presented with child slaves to treat as if they were exotic pets.
