Muster roll for the ship, the Cape Coast , 1765.
The Cape Coast sailed for Africa and St Kitts, in the Caribbean. She seems to have returned to Africa, perhaps for a cargo of timber to carry back to Bristol. The ship was, unusually, owned by a woman, Catherine Stroud.
The muster roll is a list of all crew signed on for all or part of a voyage, which was used to calculate the money each man should pay to the Sailors’ Hospital Fund (insurance).
The Society of Merchant Venturers is a Bristol-based organisation, which was formed in 1552 as an elite body of merchants involved in overseas trade. The Society still exists today.

Muster roll for the ship, the Sadler , sailing from Bristol for Africa, 1765.
The Sadler sailed for Anamaboe, West Africa, and Jamaica. It had only 10 crew, a small number for a slaving ship of 105 tons. The number of slaves bought is not known. 48 were sold in Jamaica, a low number for a ship that size. The Indian Prince , the same size and in the same year, had sold 187 slaves at Barbados. With only 10 crew, the master might have only bought a small number of slaves, but the economics of such a voyage seem odd. It is possible that a large number of slaves died during the middle passage.
