Categories for ship and slavery voyages please [closed]

Question

I'm generally okay with creating categories but I haven't grasped ships and voyages 

Could someone familiar from England or USBH projects please create a category for Esther (1794) and her first voyage for this profile?

Is it also possible to set up the slavery voyages in advance or do I need to find/create the other ship masters first?

many thanks!

There is a separate category stream for slave ships (the voyages) that already exists. All you need to create the ship category is information about the voyage (where it left from and where it went to. And what date--at least the year)

We also have ships by name (since most ships had multiple voyages)

I created a ship category for the Esther and added it to John's profile, but I would need the voyage information to add it to the slavery ship stream.

Thanks Emma, the wikiwand link details the voyage taken by John in 1794 from Bristol to Barbados, and also four slavery voyages

Whew! These are tough to create because there are multiple category streams involved and it's important to get them right. I have created categories for all four voyages, which interestingly went to three completely different locations. You can see those categories as subcats for the ship

The voyage categories go on any profile for anyone who was on the ship during that particular voyage as well as ship owners. Thanks for working on this!

Great work Emma! I knew I had to leave if for an expert
