Lord Ligonier (slave ship)
The ''Lord Ligonier'' was an 18th-century slave ship built in New England that in 1767 unloaded slaves in Annapolis, Maryland. The ship was made famous by the novel and television series Roots, as the ship that brought the main character, Kunta Kinte, from the Gambia to the United States.
== Construction ==
''Lord Ligonier'' was originally laid down in 1763. The ship was built for hauling cargo such as slaves, tobacco, spice, and lumber. In June of 1765 the ship's owner, Horace Andrews, hired a crew of 40 men and a captain named Davies.
The ship had six decks in all, four for carrying slaves and two for hauling spice, lumber, and tobacco. ''Lord Ligonier'' was a sailing ship, built to weather Atlantic storms. She could carry 170 slaves, 40 crew members, and various amounts of other cargo. Although she could carry 170 slaves if they were packed in sideways, her capacity was only 140 slaves when they lay on their backs.
