The Voyages section of the database tracks 35,000 slaving expeditions between 1514 and 1866 and includes the ship's name, captain, owners, and nation as well as the number of slaves and some other information about the voyage. The African Names Database identifies over 67,000 African men, women, and children, including name, age, gender, origin, and place of embarkation.
