The lower part of a slave ship where slaves were kept was called the "hold." It was a dark and overcrowded space where slaves were shackled together and forced to stay during the journey across the Atlantic Ocean.
The size of the ship, the conditions for transporting slaves, the regulations in place, and the profits that could be gained all influenced how many slaves could be carried on a slave ship. Factors such as the duration of the voyage, the mortality rate, and the space required for provisions also played a role in determining the number of slaves that could be transported.
The room where Africans were kept in slave ships were extremely cramped, with very limited space to sit up and move around. The slaves were typically packed closely together in a space that allowed for minimal movement, resulting in a deplorable and inhumane living condition during the transatlantic journey.
Slaves on the Middle Passage were typically allocated between 4 to 6 feet of space in the ship's hold, with very cramped and unsanitary conditions. They were heavily crowded together, laying in rows on hard surfaces, with limited access to ventilation and light. This inhumane treatment contributed to high mortality rates during the transatlantic voyage.
Slaves typically had very minimal living space, often cramped and lacking basic amenities. They were usually housed in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, with little privacy or comfort. The living conditions of slaves varied depending on the time period, location, and type of labor they were forced to perform.
Slave traders used every available space to fit as many slaves as possible on a slave ship.
200 slaves were on a average ship

The slaves would be thrown into the deck of the ship where there would have been no space, light or dryness because there were so many of them. Many slaves died as a result of this and because of deadly diseases being passed from slave to slave. Stories tell of how one captain of a slave ship, hung up a female black slave by her foot and then whipped her because she refused to dance naked on the deck of his ship - an invasion of privacy.
