Gomer Williams on page 605-606 says "In 1784, the Bloom, Robert Bostock, master, carried 307 slaves from the Windward Coast of Africa to the West Indies, on account of Messrs. Thomas Foxcroft & Co.," and "Sale of 307 slaves... £9858"
ALT1 ... that in 1784, Thomas Foxcroft sold 307 people for £9,858, which is equivalent to £1,214,933 in 2019 money?
Source is the same as ALT0. For the money conversion I used WP inbuilt conversion. The code is reproduced as follows which can be checked when editing....equivalent to £1,523,381 in 2023
AGF on the source. I prefer ALT0, but both are approved. Nice work, @Desertarun! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 01:51, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
