Royal officers investigated a slave ship lost near Capatárida on the Falcón coast. After an accident, only two enslaved Africans remained in the area; the ship continued to Maracaibo, where the enslaved people were sold at public auction. The record makes the coast a site of both maritime danger and slave trading, while preserving almost nothing about the two people left behind.
