Bristol in the 18th century was a centre for the transportation of slaves from West Africa to the West Indies and North America where they were sold to work on plantations. The ships returned to Bristol with the fruits of their labours - tobacco, sugar and rum. These in turn provided new industries and markets for Bristol. The Merchants of Bristol organised into the Society of Merchant Venturers campaigned to remove the Royal African Company's monopoly on trade with Africa. On the 19th April 1763, the Court of the Society of Merchant Adventurers passed a resolution to make presentations to three captains.
