“ Exclusive of the slaves who died before they sailed from Africa, ” states The Encyclopædia Britannica, “12⁠ / 2% were lost during their passage to the West Indies; at Jamaica 4 / 2% died whilst in the harbours or before the sale and one - third more in the ‘ seasoning. ’ ”
The Encyclopædia Britannica teatab: „Kui arvata välja orjad, kes surid enne Aafrikast väljasõitmist, siis 12 / 2% suri reisi ajal Kariibi saartele; Jamaical suri 4 / 2% sadamasoleku ajal või enne müüki ja veel üks kolmandik ’ ettevalmistamise ’ ajal. ”
