The next ships in the Flotilla reflect the rising prosperity of Welsh ports prior to the Industrial Revolution – a prosperity which was also linked to the slave trade.
I decided, as it is a big and harrowing subject, to focus on the quality of ‘absence’ in my vessels. Both are empty hulls containing only stark ribs, as structure and cargo.
