Title
Over 200 enslaved Africans disembark at Galveston and are purchased by Jean Laffite.
Description
Captain Guy Richards Champlin made regular deliveries of enslaved Africans to Galveston. On one voyage, Champlin arrived with over 200 Africans aboard an unknown vessel and sold them to Jean Laffite. At this time, Laffite had already replaced Aury as the leader of Galveston's privateer government, so this particular voyage likely occurred after Laffite arrived in 1817 but before Laffite left Galveston in 1821.
