General Motors believes in the importance of preserving and sharing American history and culture and is proud to be the National Tour Sponsor of "A Slave Ship Speaks," an interactive exhibit organized by the Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Society. This traveling show will allow people of all backgrounds the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of an important part of the American experience.
These important historical items are currently featured in a 3,000 square foot interactive exhibit which includes the ship's actual remains and artifacts. The traveling show recreates the route of the triangular slave trade from a London port (circa 1689) to West Africa, and finally to a sugar plantation in the West Indies.
