Layout of a Slave Ship
Description
This illustration shows the way slave ships were packed with slaves during the Atlantic slave trade. The illustration was used as evidence presented to a select committee of the British House of Commons in 1790-1791. However, it took another seventeen years before the Atlantic slave trade was banned by Britain.
