La Amistad was a 19th-century two-master schooner built in Spain. The schooner traveled long the coast of Cuba on its way to a port for re-sale of the slaves. The African captives, who had been kidnapped in Sierra Leone and illegally sold into slavery and shipped to Cuba, escaped their shackles and took over the ship.
