John Hawkins of Plymouth in October 1562 became the first English sailor to get slaves to sell in the West Indies, He got about 300 Africans from Sierra Leone.

The true story of Jesus of Lubeck
John Hawkins was from a famous shipping family. His father William Hawkins was the man who made the first expeditions to West Africa in 1527.
When John Hawkins went on his first expedition, he had gone in search of commercial materials such as dyewoods on the Guinea coast. After sailing to the Gulf of Guinea, he ventured into the region which is present-day Sierra Leone and captured between 300 to 500 Africans. He did this by pillaging Portuguese ships.
He used forcefulness and artifice to lure Africans to go along with him. John Hawkins promised them free land and riches in the new world. He was responsible for selling most of the slaves in the Dominican Republic. He returned home in a ship full of ivory, hides, sugar. After selling the goods and slaves, he made a lot of profit. This helped kick start the slave trade.
An account of the story that claims that Hawkins used to say to everyone that he was a devout Christian and missionary. When he came off his ship and found the Sierra Leoneans harvesting their crops, he told them of a God named Jesus and asked who wanted Jesus to be their savior. The hundreds who indicated yes were then led to the ship. The name of the ship was ‘Jesus of Lubeck’. It was also known as ‘The Good Ship Jesus’.
He asked the naïve Africans to enter the ship to be saved. As many as entered the ship were not allowed to disembark. The ship sailed away and the deceived Africans were sold to merchants in the West Indies.
