LEUSDEN Dutch West India Company Slave Ship
It is a slave ship operated by the Dutch West India Company (WIC). On January 1, 1738, the ship sank at the mouth of the Maroni River in Suriname, carrying 716 African prisoners, of which only 16 survived. This disaster is one of the most serious tragedies in Dutch shipping history, but little is known about it. This ship was one of the last WIC vessels used for transporting slaves and the only one specifically designed for this purpose. On each voyage, the ship transported an average of 660 slaves who were chained and tightly packed in the Caribbean Sea. A total of 10 slave voyages were conducted, and only 73% of the slaves arrived at their destination alive.
