3.1 million enslaved people trafficked to the British colonies

‘Thomas Herbert’ is shown in TASTDB as captain in eight slaving voyages (six known to have been from London) between 1715 and 1730 and a man of the same name is given as an owner and co-owner of five slaving voyages from London between 1732 and 1737. The slave-trade captain was certainly in fact Thomas Hebert, and we have tentatively concluded that the slave-voyage owner was the same man, active as a merchant in London in the 1740s and dying in London c. 1754.
