Your thinking in parallel lines to most of us....Any idea where to get the ship manifests? I’m thinking there may be some type of “spice boat”. Any idea of which companies bought “clove” from Momsabic? Did they have their own ships?
My computer is slow (dial up) so it difficult to do the big searches.
Ghana was, as best as I know, the first independant african nation to have its own shipping line. Yes, it was cloves out of the East, and cocoa out of the West.
