Researchers from Emory University worked with Dr. Nicholas Radburn, the co-editor of the "Voyages: The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database," to develop the 3D model.
The Aurore left La Rochelle in France in August 1784 bound for the African coast to buy slaves to work in sugar and coffee plantations in Santa Domingue.
The 3d model is based on a set of existing slave ship plans.
The result is an amazing 4-minute review of the horrors of a slave ship.
