An estimated 2.7 million Africans made an enforced crossing of the Atlantic on British slave ships between c.1680 and 1807—a journey that has become known as the ‘Middle Passage’. This book focuses on the slave ship itself. The slave ship is the largest artefact of the Transatlantic slave trade, but because so few examples of wrecked slaving vessels have been located at sea, it is rarely studied by archaeologists.
