"This is an illustrated story of a typical slave ship and its last voyage on the triangular trade between Denmark-Norway, the Gold Coast in Africa, and the islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix. The wreck of the Fredensborg was discovered off the coast of Norway in 1974, more than 200 years after it sank in 1768. By examining the wreckage and surviving written sources (including the ship captain's log), Svalesen, diver and author, has reconstructed the Fredensborg's journey in detail.
He is able to give the reader virtually a day-by-day account of what life was like for captain, crew and the newly enslaved. This is the triangular trade made specific and personal based on the records and artifacts of the best documented slave vessel ever discovered."--BOOK JACKET.
