Olaudah Equiano's Travels
This map shows the route of Equiano's many travels throughout his long
career at sea.
It clearly demonstrates that he was unusually
well-travelled for his time.
The map was prepared by Miles Ogborn, a historical geographer at Queen Mary, University of London. It was drawn by Edward Oliver, a cartographer in the same department. The map is discussed in greater detail in Miles Ogborn's article 'Global historical geographies, 1500-1800' in B.J. Graham and C. Nash (eds) Modern Historical Geographies (Harlow: Longman, 2000).
