Description
English: A watercolor by an unknown artist shows the Nantes slave ship La Marie-Séraphique in a harbor in Haiti in 1773
Français : Vue du cap Français et du Nvr La Marie Séraphique de Nantes, capitaine Gaugy, le jour de l'ouverture de sa vente, troisième voyage d'Angole, 1772-1773.

Scène de vente à bord d'un navire négrier nantais : la Marie Séraphique.

Certaines ventes d'esclaves se déroulent à bord, comme c'est le cas ici. Cependant, l'image reproduite est des plus fantaisistes. Il est invraisemblable que Européens et captifs africains aient entretenu des relations aussi cordiales que celles représentées sur cette aquarelle. En 1772, le navire nantais la "Marie-Séraphique" transporte 340 hommes, femmes et enfants depuis l'Afrique jusqu'à la ville du Cap-Français.
