The East African slave trade, the lesser known of the two branches of the African slave trade, flourished in virtual anonymity as the attention of the world was focused on the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade and the destruction of slavery in the Western hemisphere.

This account talks about the voyage Columbus undertook in his own voice through his journal entries of that year.
