Slave-runners, also owned by Jews were the 'La Fortuna', the
'Hannah', the 'Sally', and the 'Venue'.
Some of the Jews of New****t and Charleston who were engaged in
the distillery or slavery trade, or both, were: Isaac Gomez,
Hayman Levy, Jacob Malhado, Naphtaly Myers, David Hart, Joseph
Jacobs, Moses Ben Franks, Moses Gomez, Isaac Dias, Benjamin
Levy, David Jeshuvum, Jacob Pinto, Jacob Turk, Daniel Gomez,
James Lucana, Jan de Sweevts, Felix (cha-cha) de Souza (known as
the 'Prince of Slavers' and second only to Aaron Lopez), Simeon
Potter, Isaac Elizer, Jacob Rod, Jacol) Itodrigues Rivera, Haym
Isaac Carregal, Abraham Touro, Moses Hays, Moses Lopez, Judah
Touro, Abrtham Mendes and Abraham All.
Of some 600 ****ps leaving the ****t of New****t, more than 300
were engaged in the slave trade. A typical cargo of one ****p,
'La Fortuna', was 217 slaves which cost about $4,300 and sold
for $41,438.00.
Only about 10% of the slave ****p captains were Jews, not wanting
to subject themselves to the rigors of the 6-month journey. They
preferred to stay at home and continue their distillery
operations which continued to supply rum and whiskey to the
Indians for many years at a very great profit.
