The "Brick Negrier" was a type of ship used in the transatlantic slave trade during the 18th and 19th centuries. It was a small, fast, and heavily armed vessel that was designed to transport enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean from West Africa to the Americas.
The term "brick" referred to the method of construction used to build the ship, which involved overlapping planks of wood, rather than using ribs and planking. This made the ships stronger and more durable, and therefore ideal for long voyages across the Atlantic.
The "Brick Negrier" was notorious for its role in the transatlantic slave trade, as it was often used to transport enslaved Africans in brutal conditions. The ships were often overcrowded, with little ventilation, food, or water, and many enslaved people died from disease, malnutrition, and mistreatment.
The use of the "Brick Negrier" declined in the mid-19th century, as the transatlantic slave trade was gradually abolished. However, the legacy of this type of ship and its role in the slave trade remains a dark chapter in human history.
It looks quite good. It was sent safely packaged and once placed where it could take the spotlight, it really improved the look of that corner of the house. Excellent product, communication, service and delivery. They responded promptly to all my messages and attended to all my questions and subsequent requests. Everything went exactly as they said and it went quite smoothly on the whole. I was initially apprehensive about the idea of having something which looks so delicate being sent via courier but it made the journey quite safely. If I were looking to buy another model ship, Admiralty Ship Models is where I'd begin again.
