Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. On offer is a stunning, shocking and outstanding piece of Chinese and Cuban history, being a remarkably rare Spanish and Chinese manuscript recording the interrogation of passengers aboard the French frigate, Emmanuel, seeking details about the deaths occurring on its voyage from Macau to…Havana after a failed mutiny aboard the vessel. The French frigate Emmanuel set sail from Havana on March 4, 1865 with 160 Chinese men on board. It was captained by L. De Condray It landed in Macau on July 12, 1865. Only 144 men survived the journey. This sailing of the Emmanuel was known to have had an attempted mutiny on board, but no details of the mutiny were released publicly (Asome, 2020). This document provides details on the mutiny through the eyes of the Chinese men who survived. The document is formatted as a question asked by Cuban authorities followed by an answer from the Chinese under interrogation. The first interview is of a Chinese coolie, Vong, who says he arrived on the French frigate Emmanuel. Vong is from Macao, aged 21 and single. His following first-hand testimony from direct questioning - "was examined as follows" (in rough translation) : "How many deaths were there that happened during the voyage from Macao to this city? " Vong states that he doesn t know anything about deaths, only that they occurred during the crossing. He does not know because he himself was sick after departure from Macao. However, he knows that three of the passengers were shot ("fusiallamiento"). The second question asks when the Captain of the ship knew about the shootings and they are referred to as "executions". Vong replies that "No one can determine the motive behind the shootings". As well, he was very ill himself. The interrogations continue with more passengers. On the second page, another Chinese coolie is questioned regarding the deaths on the ship, during the voyage. He states that 17 died and 3 were shot [executed] by order of the Captain of the ship. Three "marineros" with rifles shot them. They were shot shortly after leaving Macao. Further along there is discussion as to why they might have been executed. Possibly "swear [bad] words" were said to the Captain. These first hand testimonies are signed in Chinese by the men being interviewed and by the interviewer. This is a truly remarkable window into life on board a Chinese coolie ship that was one of many to experience a failed mutiny by Chinese men who had been forced or coerced into leaving their troubled home land for indentured servitude across the ocean. The Chinese coolie trade, a system of indentured labor that targeted young, poor Chinese men, operated from 1847-1874. Throughout this period, African slavery was slowly being abolished around the world. The coolie trade was initiated by Britain and was eventually dominated by both Britain and the United States of America. Chinese coolie laborers were sent to work in British, American and Spanish colonies, and the nature of the trade changed throughout its 27-year operation, due to social and political pressures. The coolie trade took place, in large part, between the shipping port in Macao (now a part of China, then under Portuguese rule) and Havana, Cuba (then under Spanish control). As Macau was under Portugese rule at the time of the coolie trade, they transported coolies on their vessels frequently and many of the manifests were written in Portuguese and/or Spanish. To learn more about the Chinese coolie trade and its importance in world history, click here to read our in-depth research blog on the topic. The document contains 12 folio leaves with 24 pages of handwritten content. Spanish and Chinese languages. These leaves appear to have been extracted from a larger document. There is evidence of the string binding that has come off the document. Small holes and tears where the binding would have been are present, as are some tears on the pages themselves. Age toning present. Legible. Overall Fair. Asome, J. (2020). Co. Signed by Author(s).

Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. On offer is an arrival manifest recording the names, information and fates of 26 Chinese men who were transported on an complicated voyage of the Aurora, from the port of Macau to Havana, Cuba to complete their indentured servitude as "coolies", working for Cuban sugar plantation owners. T…his manifest was created upon the arrival of the San Salvadorian ship, Aurora, in Havana, Cuba, once the coolies on board had their contracts sold to plantation owners. The Aurora departed Macau on November 24,1868 and arrived in Havana, Cuba on March 26,1869. 419 Chinese men boarded the ship and only 384 arrived in Cuba, for an 8.4% death rate on the voyage. The ultimate fates of 25 of the men who made the sailing to Havana can be found on this manifest. On the manifest, the coolie s number (assigned at departure) , Chinese name, given Christian name, age, sex, work he is destined to do, length of contract, start date of contract, Cuban patron (plantation owner) and location they will be living are indicated. The 25 men on this manifest would go to work under the patron Fedoro Sanchez Salvador at the Plantation Colosa_Re Near Cardenas with contracts beginning on April 23, 1869. The manifest is written on Alianza y Cia stationary, but the company name has been crossed out and replaced with "D. S. Burnham". It is signed on the back in Havana, name of the signatory is difficult to interpret. This manifest is intriguing as it is from the Aurora s one and only coolie sailing from Macau to Havana, with her other coolie crossings being to Callao, Peru. The Aurora was originally a British ship which was sold and reflagged multiple times. At the time of this sailing, the Aurora was registered to San Salvador and was under Peruvian Captain, Narciso Garcia y Garcia. The Aurora made a total of five crossings with coolie labourers. Of these five crossings, the overall mortality rate on this ship was 4.07%, lower than the death rate on this particular voyage.

On offer is a unique arrival manifest recording the names, information and fates of nine Chinese men who were transported on an complicated voyage of the Avon, from the port of Macau to Havana, Cuba to complete their indentured servitude as "coolies", working for Cuban sugar plantation own…ers. This manifest was created upon the arrival of the Russian Galley, Avon, in Havana, Cuba, once the coolies on board had their contracts sold to plantation owners. This manifest is particularly fascinating due to the history of the Avon s journey to get these men to Havana. The Avon was built in the USA and named Cyclone, sold to Britain during the Civil War, before becoming an Italian coolie ship in 1865. In 1866 the Avon changed her flag to Russia. In November of 1866, British Captain Warwick began the Avon s journey from Macau to Havana with 551 Chinese men on board. There was a disturbance on board the Avon, and the British Opossum and HMS Salamis found it off Lamma Island, Hong Kong. While Cpt. Warwick denied these claims, it was believed there had been a coolie uprising on board, and that there were kidnapped Chinese children on board who had not signed contracts. Avon returned to Macau on Nov 23, 1866 but 14 Chinese people were missing and there was no explanation given for their absences. An investigation determined that all rules had been properly followed, yet when the Avon set sail again for Macau on December 5, 1866, only 502 coolies were on board. Of those 502 coolies who made the final journey to Macau, only 473 arrived in Havana on April 14, 1867, for a 6% death rate on this sailing. A few days after the Avon s arrival, 24 children who had been taken off the Avon were delivered to the Chief Mandarin of Cantos, arriving on the Portuguese gunboat, Camoes. The ultimate fates of 9 of the men who made the sailing to Havana on the Avon can be found on this manifest. On the manifest, the coolie s number (assigned at departure) , Chinese name, given Christian name, age, sex, work he is destined to do, length of contract, start date of contract, Cuban patron (plantation owner) and location they will be living are indicated. The 9 men on this manifest would go to work under the patron Solosabal Campos & C. [? ] in Cienfuegos with contracts beginning on May 20, 1867. The manifest is signed by the Vice Director of Alianza y Cia, Carlos de Zaldo. The Avon was a ship of the Alianza y Cia, a coolie importing business that was born through the merger of the Empresa and La Compania de Seguros y Creditos. The Alianza was the major importer of Chinese labourers, making 55 shipments of men between 1865 and 1873.

At the time of this sailing, the Zangroniz trafficking business was owned mainly by Ignacio Maria Zangroniz and the company was called Ignacio Maria Zangroniz y Cia. The manifest is signed in Havana by a representative for the company, [? ] dela Maja Amedonas [? ]. The Chinese coolie trade, a system of indentured labor that targeted young, poor Chinese men, operated from 1847-1874. Throughout this period, African slavery was slowly being abolished around the world. The coolie trade was initiated by Britain and was eventually dominated by both Britain and the United States of America. Chinese coolie laborers were sent to work in British, American and Spanish colonies, and the nature of the trade changed throughout its 27-year operation, due to social and political pressures. The coolie trade took place, in large part, between the shipping port in Macao (now a part of China, then under Portuguese rule) and Havana, Cuba (then under Spanish control). As Macau was under Portugese rule at the time of the coolie trade, they transported coolies on their vessels frequently and many of the manifests were written in Portuguese and/or Spanish.

These manifests were created upon the arrival of the Luisita in Havana, Cuba, once the coolies on board had their contracts sold to plantation owners. This sailing of the Luisita departed on October 30, 1863 from Macau. It arrived in Cuba on February 21, 1864. 343 Chinese men boarded the ship in Macau and only 283 arrived alive in Havana, for a death rate of 17.49%. The ultimate fates of 177 of those men can be found on these manifests. On each manifest, the coolie s number (assigned at departure) , Chinese name, given Christian name, age, sex, work he is destined to do, length of contract, start date of contract, Cuban patron (plantation owner) and location they will be living are indicated. The first manifest identifies 67 coolies whose contract will begin on March 16, 1864. The names are divided into chunks based on the patron who will be overseeing the work of each group and their work destination. The second manifest lists a massive 110 coolies whose contracts will begin March 17, 1864. Again, these names are listed in batches based on the patron and work destination.

It took them 75 days to load the 343 coolies and over the 114 day voyage, over 17% of the men on board died. The Luisita sailed for the company Alianza y Ferran y Dupierris, a coolie importing business, which seems to have been a collaboration between La Alianza, Marcial Dupierris, and Antonio Ferran. Dupierris and Ferran were two of the four owners of Empressa de Colonizacion, a company that ultimately merged with La Alianza.

On offer is a remarkable Chinese and Spanish primitive contract for an Chinese indentured labourer (known as a coolie) in 1857 which had been sold to a plantation owner in Cuba, where the man will begin working following his voyage from Macau to Havana. This contract is particularly rare a…s it features a thumbprint signature of the Chinese labourer, Chen Yom, on both the front and back of the contract. This contract was written for Cheom Yom, age 19, of Defom (? ) , China. It states, in Portuguese on one side and Chinese on the other, that Yom is agreeing to work for Dn. Rafael R. Torices in Cuba for eight years, upon his arrival in Havana. The contract indicates the terms of Yom s eight years of servitude, discussing when he will work, rest, how his medical issues will be treated, what money will be advanced to him by Torices, clothing Torices will provide (which Yom will pay for out of his wages) , and more. The contract is stamped with the seal of the Consulate General of Cuba and is signed in ink by A. R. Ferran, Manuel Arito d Younga Procurador. It is also signed in Chinese and stamped with Yom s fingerprint. Dated possibly March (? ) 7, 1857, there is a handwritten Spanish note on the back of the contract indicating that Yom is being passed off upon his arrival in Havana and this note is dated June 20, 1857. This correlates with the arrival of the Dutch vessel Christina, which arrived in Havana from Macao on June 20, 1857, indicating that Yom may have been aboard this ship. This contract provides evidence of the conditions Chinese coolie workers faced in the colonies where they were sent to work, making it an essential piece of Chinese history. Primitive contracts were the first contracts offered to slaves following their emancipation. After completion of a primitive contract such as this one, a contrata was offered. The Chinese coolie trade, a system of indentured labor that targeted young, poor Chinese men, operated from 1847-1874.
