Excerpt (in translation): The ship Leliëndaal was a frigate in the service of the Middelburgse Commercie Compagnie (MCC) and made a trade trip to West Africa between October 1730 and July 1732. Officially, the ship transported goods between the Republic and West Africa. However, it is very likely that the crew off the West African coast also sold slaves to Portuguese/Brazilian slave traders. It made a trip between May 1733 and February 1734 to the Spanish colonies.(Submitted on June 7, 2023.)
