Muster roll for the ship, the Swallow, sailing for Africa and America, 1749.
Where the Swallow went in Africa, how many slaves were bought amd how many sold, is not known. This seems to be the only slaving voyage of this ship. The crew were from merchant vessels with no experience of slaving voyages, so perhaps the venture was not a success for the owners and was not repeated.
