Boston and the Middle Passage

Over 165 documented voyages set sail from Boston and nearby ports for Africa and transported over 20,000 enslaved people across the Atlantic.

Primary source documents, such as petitions, maps, and newspaper advertisements, will be available for visitors to view and reflect on the indelible mark of the Middle Passage.
