TRAVELS OF GUSTAVUS VASSA THE AFRICAN

Vassa traveled extensively, having come from the interior of the Bight of Biafra, in the heart of Igboland, and taken the coast, probably leaving via the slave port of Bonny in 1754. By his own account, he was taken to  Barbados and then to Virginia, where he was bought by British naval officer, Captain Pascal, and taken to England. His subsequent travels are located on this portal.
