This extraordinary book uncovers the long-forgotten story of the Hankey, from its altruistic beginnings to its disastrous end, and describes the ship's fateful impact upon people from West Africa to Philadelphia, Haiti to London. Billy G. Smith chased the story of the Hankey from archive to archive across several continents, and he now brings back to light a saga that continues to haunt the modern world. It began with a group of high-minded British colonists who planned to establish a colony free of slavery in West Africa. With the colony failing, the ship set sail for the Caribbean and then North America, carrying, as it turned out, mosquitoes infected with yellow fever. The resulting pandemic as the Hankey traveled from one port to the next was catastrophic. In the United States, tens of thousands died in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Charleston. The few survivors on the Hankey eventually limped back to London, hopes dashed and numbers decimated. Smith links the voyage and its deadly cargo to some of the most significant events of the era-the success of the Haitian slave revolution, Napoleon's decision to sell the Louisiana Territory, a change in the geopolitical situation of the new United States-and spins a riveting tale of unintended consequences and the legacy of slavery that will not die"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a The Hankey -- The British colonists -- West Africa -- Cross-cultural negotiations -- Death in Bolama -- Grumettas and the final days of the "Canabacs' chickens" -- Yellow Jack comes to the Caribbean -- Calamity in the United States capital -- Journal of the plague months -- Epilogue: The living and the dead -- The legacy of the Hankey -- Glossary of people and places of West Africa. 650 0 $a Hankey (Ship : 1784) 650 0 $a Yellow fever $z Bolama Island $z Bolama Island $x History $y 18th century. 610 20 $a Bolama Association. 650 0 $a Epidemics $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Yellow fever $z Caribbean Area $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Yellow fever $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a Bolama Island (Guinea-Bissau) $x Colonization. 650 0 $a Antislavery movements $z Great Britain $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Abolitionists $z Great Britain $v Biography. 651 0 $a Bolama Island (Guinea-Bissau) $x History $y 18th century. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Modern / 18th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Slavery. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Africa / West. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Caribbean & West Indies / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / Revolutionary Period (1775-1800). $2 bisacsh 610 22 $a Hankey (Ship : 1784) 610 22 $a Bolama Association. 650 12 $a Yellow Fever $x epidemiology $z Caribbean Region. 650 12 $a Yellow Fever $x epidemiology $z Great Britain. 650 12 $a Yellow Fever $x epidemiology $z Guinea-Bissau. 650 12 $a Yellow Fever $x epidemiology $z United States. 650 12 $a Yellow Fever $x history $z Caribbean Region. 650 12 $a Yellow Fever $x history $z Great Britain. 650 12 $a Yellow Fever $x history $z Guinea-Bissau. 650 12 $a Yellow Fever $x history $z United States. 650 22 $a Epidemics $x history $z Caribbean Region. 650 22 $a Epidemics $x history $z Great Britain. 650 22 $a Epidemics $x history $z Guinea-Bissau. 650 22 $a Epidemics $x history $z United States. 650 22 $a History, 18th Century $z Caribbean Region. 650 22 $a History, 18th Century $z Great Britain. 650 22 $a History, 18th Century $z Guinea-Bissau. 650 22 $a History, 18th Century $z United States. 650 22 $a Human Rights $x history $z Caribbean Region. 650 22 $a Human Rights $x history $z Great Britain. 650 22 $a Human Rights $x history $z Guinea-Bissau. 650 22 $a Human Rights $x history $z United States. 650 22 $a Slavery $x history $z Caribbean Region. 650 22 $a Slavery $x history $z Great Britain. 650 22 $a Slavery $x history $z Guinea-Bissau. 650 22 $a Slavery $x history $z United States. 941 $a 5 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214042939.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718091520.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211005013655.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044523.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20140822042109.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B435FF08F12D11E395A8CAC7DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IOMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
