It was approximately 200 years ago that the ocean became important area of study
Once a slave ship had a full cargo of enslaved Africans, the captain would set out on the next leg of the journey. This leg, called the Middle Passage , took the Africans away from their homeland, across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas.
Equiano Olaudah was an English philosopher and writer. He used to be enslaved but he bought his own freedom. He grew up and wrote about his experiences and encounters as an enslaved child. He was a major figure in the campaign to get rid of the slave trade immediately, and he was sold to start being a slave when he was only 11 years old. He even wrote his own autobiography titled ‘The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa, the African.’ He was a part of the “Sons of Africa,” and his autobiography that he self-published spread to be the most detailed account of the Middle Passage from a firsthand account of someone actually traveling along the route.
