This map shows the data from the Atlantic Slave trade in 1777 and 1778, and records from hurricanes in 1898. The Slave trade is identified by a small blue ship and the Hurricanes are marked by variations of storm clouds based on their progression from a tropical depression all the way to a hurricane which have the hurricane symbol. The red place marks mark the place where slaves died along the journey. The darker colors mean there were higher death counts. The highest death counts were in the beginning and ending of the journey. This could be because of an influx in diseases or resistance. The start and end of the slave trade journey are marked by yellow stars.
