Brooks's last voyage shipping enslaved people was to Montevideo in the South Atlantic where she was condemned as unseaworthy in November 1804.
A British Member of Parliament, Sir William Dolben, 3rd Baronet, toured and investigated Brooks.
However, the poster's text alleges that a slave trader confessed that before the Act, Brookes had carried as many as 609 captives at one time.
Stowage of captives on multiple layers of decks does not allow for the storage of water and provisions, which was the common practice.
Below deck, portholes were common to allow more ventilation, while outside of the ship sails positioned alongside funneled air below.
Above deck, there would be a large cook stove to prepare the meals, commonly rice and beans, for the captives.

She had embarked 322 captives and she arrived with 320, for a mortality rate of 1%, a result that would have qualified her master and surgeon for the full bonus.
