The language used to describe people of African descent in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries is unacceptable in today’s terms. We cannot avoid using this language in its original context. To change the words would impose 20th century attitudes on history.

Muster roll for the ship, the Pelham, sailing from Jamaica, 1749.
The muster roll for the Pelham is printed with an extract from the Act of Parliament. This Act set up the Seaman’s Hospital Fund and was to provide support for injured sailors, their widows and families, through an insurance fund paid for by the sailors. To calculate the money owed by each man, the Act required the master of the ship to keep a muster roll of all the crew, and how many days they served on board. The fine for not keeping a muster roll, or not delivering it to the collector of Duties in port, was £20 (about £1000 at today’s values).
