I propose a history of the slave ship. I will investigate the material evolution of this world-transforming technology, concentrating on the British and American slave trade of the eighteenth century and the ship's role in Atlantic economic development. I will also analyze the slave ship as a stage for the enactment of four great dramas of the age: relations between captain and crew; between the crew and the enslaved; among the enslaved themselves; and finally between abolitionists and pro-slavery advocates over how the middle passage and the ship itself would be represented in public debate.
