The Slave Ship Fredensborg by Leif Svalesen
This is a story of a typical slave ship and its last voyage on the triangular trade between Denmark and the Gold Coast of Africa to the islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix. The wreck of the Fredensborg was discovered in 1974. Here a full account of her last days are recorded."The book has a sizeable list of source material, and is rich in imagery: maps, charts, prints, paintings, and illustrations of old sailing ships" —Terrae Incognitae
Leif Svalesen grew up on Tromoya Island off the coast of Arendal, an area known for its rich shipping traditions. His diving skills are matched by a keen interest in marine archeology and the Fredensborg wreck is only one of the many shipwrecks he has charted in conjunction with the Norwegian Maritime Museum. He is a member of the Norwegian Maritime Museum's Council and a Board member of UNESCO's International Scientific Committee for the Slave Routes Project.
