If you are talking about during the British Empire, then they were awful. Slaves barely had room to move and were treated as vermin would be today, the toilets were overflowing causing disease to spread easily, the cabins were stifling and filthy, and women were used for the joy and sexual desire of the sailors on the ships.
Sometimes, even if slaves were still alive but ill, slave traders would chain some together and push them into the ocean to drown.
