Jesus of Lübeck: How Africans Were Lured into England’s First Slave Ship
John Hawkins urged the Africans to enter his ship “Jesus of Lubeck,” also known as “The Good Ship Jesus.” for salvation, those who entered soon found they were barred from disembarking. Full Article
Jesus of Lübeck was a sailing vessel built in the City of Lübeck in the early 16th century. Around 1540 the ship, which had mostly been used for representative purposes, was acquired by Henry VIII, King of England, to augment his fleet.
The ship which saw action during the French invasion of the Isle of Wight in 1545 was later chartered to John Hawkins in 1562 by Queen Elizabeth I after it foundered during a Battle.
Jesus of Lübeck became involved in the Atlantic slave trade and smuggling under John Hawkins. He successfully organized four voyages to West Africa and the West Indies between 1562 and 1568.
Early in his career, he led an expedition in which he violently captured 300 black Africans in Sierra Leone and sold them to Spanish plantations in the Americas.
An account holds that Hawkins who claimed to be a devout Christian and missionary found the Sierra Leoneans harvesting their crops.
He then proceeded to tell the natives of a God named Jesus and of heaven and hell, afterwards he asked those among them who sought to have Jesus as their saviour to enter his ship “Jesus of Lubeck,” also known as “The Good Ship Jesus.”
His missions were so lucrative that Queen Elizabeth I sponsored his subsequent journeys and provided ships, supplies and guns. She also gave him a unique coat of arms bearing a bound slave.
ENGLAND’S FIRST SLAVE TRADER
John Hawkins was England’s first slave trader. In 1562 he sailed from The Barbican in Plymouth with three ships and violently kidnapped about 400 Africans in Guinea, later trading them in the West Indies.
Full Article
Between 1562 and 1567 Hawkins and his cousin Francis Drake made three voyages to Guinea and Sierra Leone and enslaved between 1,200 and 1,400 Africans.
According to slavers’ accounts of the time this would probably have involved the death of three times that number.
The pattern was consistent. Hawkins sailed for the west coast of Africa and, sometimes with the help of other African natives, kidnapped villagers.
He would then cross the Atlantic and sell his cargo, or those who survived the voyage, to the Spanish. The slave trade was better business than plantations.
