The first leg of the triangular trade, transporting slaves from Africa to the Americas, could last around 10 to 12 weeks. The second leg, carrying raw materials like sugar and tobacco from the Americas to Europe, typically took around 6 to 8 weeks. The final leg, shipping manufactured goods from Europe back to Africa, generally lasted about 8 to 10 weeks.
