The Memoirs of Captain Hugh Crow of Liverpool...is readily available for free online.
The Life and Times of a Slave Trade Captain

Edited by the Bodleian Library

With an Introduction by John Pinfold

Numerous documents attest to the horrific conditions endured by African slaves during the centuries of the Atlantic slave trade. Less well known is the perspective of those who wielded power during this dark time in human history. The Bodleian Library fills that gap here with the memoirs of a principal figure in the slave trade, Captain Hugh Crow.

The first-hand of a man who commanded one of the last legal slave vessels to cross the Atlantic, Life and Times of a Slave Trade Captain offers a revealing if frequently troubling look into the psyche of a slave trader. His chronicle leaves nothing to the imagination, as he recounts the harsh routine of daily life on a slave vessel, where on average a fifth of the crew—let alone the human cargo—never survived the crossing. Crow portrays himself as an “enlightened” slaver, a claim he justifies through the link between his close attention to his “negroes” and his financial success, and the songs composed for him by the slaves. His also includes commentary on the social propriety of the slave trade and notes about the conditions on West Indian and Caribbean plantations as well as on slave ships. John Pinfold’s illuminating introduction recounts the life of Hugh Crow and sets him in the rich historical context of eighteenth-century mercantilism and its battle with the abolitionist movement. An eye-opening read, Life and Times of a Slave Trade Captain reveals an often overlooked facet in the complicated history of transatlantic slavery.

The man who Ijaws will forever hate!
The Nemesis of Alagoa and all Ijaw propaganda.

The torment of land grabbing Jo men, who commits suicide for not having enough ogogoro to drink, and their lying semi prof, Alagoa, have just started.

We use evidence to drown them in Alagoa pooh-pooh

Afonjers brought him to Ijawland when he first landed in Lagos by boat.

Ebiegberi Alagoa the fake ijaw professor needs to be challenged to a debate while he is still alive to defend his 1971 historical distortions. He needs to provide evidence of his claims after the civil war since no historical documents s his claims.
