Mariners' Museum: Captive Passage: The Transatlantic Slave Trade

Online exhibition from the Mariners' Museum chronicles the plight of African slaves from the beginning of their journey when they are torn from their homeland all the way to the shores of the Americas. Caught up in the lucrative triangular slave trade, many of them would die on the long sea trip. The work that these Africans carried out helped shape the New World. The legacy of this work is highlighted.
