Artists' reconstruction of cross section of hold. The top illustration depicts the Henrietta Marie converted to carry Africans on the middle passage. The bottom shows the Henrietta Marie converted to carry cargo. The Henrietta Marie transported about 200 slaves from the Bight of Biafra to Jamaica in 1699-1700. Although these are not historical images, they accurately represent the conditions on this ship.
