Methodology:
- Description of Sampling Design/Selection
- all information from the monthly reports
- Instrumentation
- port registers
- Data Quality
- some information is missing (e.g., ships unknown as to nationality);
some data items (e.g., guns, crew, African port of exit, date of sailing,
date of arrival) are not available in information coded from these
port registers; name and master of ship are blank (codebook indicates
that Philip Curtin used a numeric code for these variables); although
most of the records are ordered correctly from first date (1790) to
last date (1820), there are records out of order.
- Unit of Analysis/Record Type
- 1885 slave ships
- Number of Variables
- 20 (assigned); 9 fields for variables are actually empty
