Slave trade suppression

TheCapture of the brigBrillante occurred around 1832 and was considered a significant feat in theBlockade of Africa.Brillante was aslave ship that theRoyal Navy succeeded in capturing after two failed attempts. Thebrig had a crew of sixty men and was armed with ten guns.Brillante was under the command of an English-borncaptain named Homans when she was seized. Homans was an experiencedslaver who in ten cruises had landed 5,000 slaves on the coasts of Brazil and Cuba.Brillante reportedly fought at least two battles against the British anti-slavery patrols. She allegedly forced the crew of one Britishcruiser to abandon ship after a bloody action and on a different occasion, she repulsed boats from a Royal Navysloop-of-war.

Finally, four navy vessels trappedBrillante by surrounding her. Just before his capture, Captain Homans murdered around 600 slaves by ordering that their hands be tied to the ship's anchor and that they be thrown over the side. The Britons who captured the ship arrived just after the incident and took control without resistance.^[1]^[2]^[3]
