Here is a video illustrating the Atlantic Slave Trade boat by boat. According to the folks at Slate:

This interactive, designed and built by Slate’s Andrew Kahn, gives you a sense of the scale of the trans-Atlantic slave trade across time, as well as the flow of transport and eventual destinations. The dots—which represent individual slave ships—also correspond to the size of each voyage. The larger the dot, the more enslaved people on board.


I'll be posting a link to an interactive version of this in just a few minutes.
