In school, I used to wonder how people survived this voyage if they were shackled below the whole trip (3 weeks). Wouldn’t the stores they were in, which were only a few feet high (couldn’t stand up), fill up with feces?

Apparently they were let up on deck for 2 hours a day.

If anyone has any clarification to add to this / that wasn’t in the article, please add.
