The ship's crew is shown preparing the ship to set sail for Africa, as the pilot and commander arrive in small boats. The Jason made one known slaving voyage for Edward Willcocks & Co, which cost £8,400 (over £1 million at today's values) and delivered 340 enslaved Africans from Angola to Jamaica for sale. The captain, John Clark, had orders to buy 600 enslaved Africans, but it is not known how many he did buy or how many died on the transatlantic crossing.
