   For once this time Carola reveals her true gorgeous self on nukkad !
   Few alterations, additions here and there and she is just right.

  Add : Sothern coast of Africa to West Africa.

The slave ship leaving british coast used to carry drums of cheaply brewed
liquor,
  cotton fabrics, handicraft items of little value, killing tools etc. to
sell to an agent,
  usually a Portugese or Arab tough man and in exchange the English company
  will buy so many slaves. All these human cargo was chained and dumped on
the
  filthy deck, made to stand in line throughout the voyage, no remission to
lie down
  at night or no freedom to relax chains to attend to the nature's calls.
Spending
  weeks overboard in the most beastly condition imaginable, the ship finally
called
  on an American port, where the black cargo was auctioned off for a neat
profit.
  In exchange the British ships procured mainly one item, Molasses (
by-product from
  sugar manufacture ) and began homeward voyage. This molasses or treacle
was in turn   used to manufacture liquor for the consumption of Africans,
thus completing the triangular trade route.

  This extra-ordinary trade became so much profitable that one British firm,
Royal
  African Co. possessed a fleet of 249 ships !

  Thanks Carola for the right answer, you score 90/100.
