Abstract:This article examines the case of the 'Veloz', a Portuguese slave ship from Pernambuco, Brazil, captured by the British Royal Navy on the Benin River in 1837. This episode of slave trade suppression reveals from within the modus operandi of slave trade organizations that, at the time, were completely illegal. Furthermore, the case study illustrates several aspects of the Portuguese connivance in the 'odious commerce', of the high-handed suppression methods employed by British cruisers, and even of the African attitudes towards the slave trade. Notes, ref., sum. in English and Portuguese (p. 257). [Journal abstract]
