Re: Manx and the African slave trade

Maureen~

I was hoping you could help me out with some of the information in the book MANX SLAVE TRADERS that you mentioned. My 4th great-grandfather was Captain George Cannon. In his journal of 1798 he writes of a journey of his ship the Iris. His entry of June 22, 1798 mentions something about feeding 420 slaves.

I was wondering if there is any mention of him in this book. I would appreciate anything you could tell me.

Thanks,
