Detailed explanation-3: -Slave ships were large cargo ships specially built or converted from the 17th to the 19th century for transporting slaves. Such ships were also known as “Guineamen” because the trade involved human trafficking to and from the Guinea coast in West Africa.

Detailed explanation-4: -Describe conditions on board slave ships. They were cramped and crowded and waste on board spread diseases and man people died. They were shackled the entire trip. They were allowed on deck for air, but for short times, for fear they would jump.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Middle Passage itself lasted roughly 80 days on ships ranging from small schooners to massive, purpose-built “slave ships.” Ship crews packed humans together on or below decks without space to sit up or move around. Without ventilation or sufficient water, about 15% grew sick and died.
