How do I determine if a slaving voyage is typical or exceptional?
Compare statistics for the voyage, as shown in Voyage detail, to summary statistics for all voyages or voyages of the same type. All voyages are usually too large a reference group to be a meaningful unit of comparison. It is more revealing to determine if a voyage is typical of others under the same flag, or from the same period of time, or following the same route from a region in Africa to a region in the Americas.
