Artifacts from a sunken ship offer insights into trans-Atlantic slave trade

In the year 1700, an English ship mysteriously sank off the coast of Key West. The vessel had been making a return trip from Jamaica after transporting nearly two hundred people to the Caribbean to be sold into slavery. While surveying the long-forgotten ship, a team of archaeologists unearthed objects — as well as insights into the trans-Atlantic slave trade. WLRN’s Julia Cooper reports from Key West.
