Jesus of Lubeck, English Slave Ship, 16th Century

Jesus of Lubeck was a carrack built in the early 16th century. It became involved in the Atlantic slave trade under John Hawkins, who organized four voyages to West Africa and the West Indies between 1562 and 1568. During the last voyage, Jesus, along with several other English ships, encountered a Spanish fleet off San Juan de Ula (modern day Vera Cruz, Mexico) in September 1568. In the resulting battle, Jesus was captured by Spanish forces. The heavily damaged ship was later sold for 601 ducats to a local merchant. Admiral Sir John Hawkins (1532, November 12, 1595) was an English slave trader, naval commander and administrator, merchant, navigator, shipbuilder and privateer. He was considered the first English trader to profit from the Triangle Trade, based on selling supplies to colonies ill-supplied by their home countries, and their demand for African slaves in the Spanish colonies of Santo Domingo and Venezuela in the late 16th century.
