Short Description of Project

This project created a 3D model and video for SlaveVoyages reconstructing the Marie-Séraphique, a French slave ship based in Nantes that transported enslaved Africans to the Caribbean in the eighteenth century. The visualization depicted the vessel’s layout and crowded confinement spaces, documented in unusually detailed surviving illustrations.
