Tromelin
- L'Utile 1761 - Esclaves oubliés
Underwater archaeological research on a slave ship that sank off Tromelin
Island, abandoning its cargo of slaves from Madagascar there. The programme,
implemented by the French Marine Archaeology Group (GRAN) with UNESCO
support, was inspired by the wreck of the slave ship l'Utile off the
shores of the Tromelin Island in the Indian Ocean in 1761. The programme
is part of the International Year for the Commemoration of the Struggle
Against Slavery and its Abolition (2004), and of UNESCO's Slave Route
Programme.
