A later account cited in scholarship describes a major operation in Recife in which 119 enslaved people were embarked for escape toward the North. Their movement followed years of fugitives, free workers, and abolitionists building an interprovincial network. The ship’s name varies in later accounts, so this entry centers the documented date and scale while flagging that source discrepancy.
