This book examines the emergence of private Dutch slave trading in the 18th century. Focusing on the enterprise of Matthijs and Smitt – whose slave ships transported an estimated 11,000–13,000 enslaved West Africans to Suriname, it reconstructs the experiences of crew and captives, and uncovers the inner workings of the private slave trade.
