Years: 1564 - 1564
John Hawkins, an English shipbuilder, merchant, navigator, and slave trader, has rented from Queen Elizabeth the huge old seven hundred-ton ship Jesus of Lubeck, and has set forth on his second slaving voyage, longer and more extensive than the first, along with three small ships.
Some scholars suggest it was Hawkins who introduced tobacco into England.
Some accounts say this was in 1569, others in 1564.
The latter is more likely, since he mentions "Ltobaccoj" (meaning tobacco) in his journals of the second voyage.
Hawkins sails to Borburata, privateering along the way.
By the time he reaches Borburata, he has gathered around four hundred enslaved West Africans.
