Fake story?

Grindal's 2016 book, Opposing the Slavers: The Royal Navy’s Campaign against the Atlantic Slave Trade , has no mention of any Brillante, or any captain Homans. The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade Database, the most complete database on such voyages, has slave voyages by vessels named Brillante, but none after about 1820. The London Gazette has no mention of any capture of a Brillante, not even a prize money notice. I have found a newspaper article from 1836 that mentions a Brazilian slave brig Brillante, among others, but that article has her landing 400 slaves, 73 having died on the voyage. So although the article has sources, my concern is that its sources are secondary sources that picked up some horrific, but spurious, story. Acad Ronin (talk) 17:39, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
