Baquaqua Mahommah Gardo Baquaqua left this description of his and his companions' ordeal aboard the ship that took them from Benin to Brazil: We were thrust into the hold of the vessel in a state of nudity, the males being crammed on one side and the females on the other; the hold was so low that we could not stand up, but were obliged to crouch upon the floor or sit down; day and night were the same to us, sleep being denied us from the confined position of our bodies, and we became desperate through suffering and fatigue."
