Gasper's taking the win

I found two slave voyages very interesting when I started to look at them. Both the first & second vessels began its voyage in Seville and ended's its voyage in the Americas. Their vessel owner for the first one was Rebolo, Francisco, the second one consisted him and Jorge, Gaspar. There wasn't much information on Francisco Rebolo, but I found interesting facts about Jorge Gaspar and his family. Jorge's were mercantile family in Seville. They have 5 ships which they used to make the voyages from Seville to the Americas. The Jorges were the leading family in Spanish-American commerce at the time being. Gasper Jorge supplied hundreds of slaves for the building of the fortress at Havana in the 1570s.

Gasper's ship was registered in year 1567. During the voyage some of the slaves were removed by pirates/privateers, they disembarked in the Americas. Now I don’t know if that means they were dropped in the Americas for the building of the fortress or if they just being shipped since the vessel owners were an human agency. There were some during this vessel voyage who went missing. There weren’t many slaves that survived at the end 22 passed away and only 18 came off the boat. This was an interesting voyage because as I wrote earlier Gasper’s family was well off and in the way of helping build a fortress.
