‘ As soon as the slaves were taken aboard, the men were shackled two by two, the right wrist and ankle of one to left wrist and ankle of another. The men were packed together below deck and were secured by leg irons. The space was so cramped they were forced to crouch or lie down. Women and children were kept in separate quarters, sometimes on deck, allowing them limited freedom of movement, but this also exposed them to violence and sexual abuse from the crew.’ http:// lancashirehistorytours. co. uk / blog / 2013 / 04 / 10 / the-slave-trade-in-liverpool /
