Equiano’s stories retell the horrific consequences of warring at sea but also demonstrate how battles eventually became a means of inter-communication once the canon fire ended. For these battles not only symbolized military conflict, but they were chances for adventure and exploration that opened new lands and peoples to those who were victorious.
