The vessel had been making a return trip from Jamaica after transporting nearly two hundred people to the Caribbean to be sold into slavery. While surveying the long-forgotten ship, a team of archaeologists unearthed objects - as well as insights into the trans-Atlantic slave trade. WLRN's Julia Cooper reports from Key West.
