أميستاد
"La Amistad" was a 19th-century two-masted schooner of about . In 1839 it was owned by Ramón Ferrer, a Spanish national. Strictly speaking, "La Amistad" was not a typical slave ship, as it was not designed like others to traffic massive numbers of enslaved Africans, nor did it engage in the Middle Passage of Africans to the Americas. The ship engaged in the shorter, domestic coastwise trade around Cuba and islands and coastal nations in the Caribbean. The primary cargo carried by "La Amistad" was sugar-industry products. It carried a limited number of passengers and enslaved Africans being trafficked for delivery or sale around the island.
