Large 8vo; original red boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper, housed in removable protector; pp. 244; profusely illustrated. Fine condition. "This is a lavishly 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 wreckage of the Fredensborg was discovered off the coast of Norway in 1971, more than 200 years after it sank in 1768. ... This is the triangular trade made specific and personal based on the records and artifacts of the best documented slave vessel ever discovered." .
