It’s a good day to share some info on my research. 322 yrs ago today ships left #Scotland for Panama.

The idea of a joint-stock migration captured the attention of three elite Scottish women, motivating them to be first in line to subscribe to the Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies in 1696.
