Do hurricanes follow slave ship routes?
No. The routes our ships take or took have no effect on hurricanes. Slave ships, however, generally came from Sub-Saharan Africa, and so had to travel through the tropical waters of the Atlantic west to the Americas using the trade winds. Tropical ocean water is one of the main ingredients needed for the formation of hurricanes. The storms are also generally steered westward by the trade winds. So the storms travel the same general direction as the slave ships, but do not actually follow the trade routes.
