Comments
Caption: "The North-west Prospect of Bense Island on the River Sierra-Leone," provides some details on this "factory," its location, and the naming of Sierra Leone; "the chief trade of these parts are slaves, ivory, and camwood." Smith made this survey for the Royal African Company. See also image "mariners18".
