the captain was captaining the ship called the "san jose." tried to salvage what he could from the crew. they attempted a rescue from ship to shore. he rescued himself. he rescued along with the crew, he rescued about half of the 400 enslaved mozambiquens aboard. the other half who had been captured from the interior of africa and brought on board the sal jose in early december perished in those waves that night. >> recently the image of a young syrian boy who died, who drowned, became the image of a migrant crisis taking place right now in europe. it humanized that crisis that's happening. is that what you want to do with the sal jose? does that humanize the slave trade? >> in many ways, history museums tend to tell the grand story. and often forget to humanize them. and it struck us that when you think of the millions of people who were taken via the middle passage to the new world, many who perished, you realize that when you start talking numbers in the millions, it's hard for the public to understand or even care, be touched by it. so ou

the few score ships we had were all we needed for the limited jobs they were assigned. why build and maintain an ex pensive battle ship fleet they asked when there was no clear mission for them to perform. and having a big fleet could actually get us into trouble. if trouble came, we would do what we always had and build up a navy for the emergency. the moment when all of this changed and it did change came at the end of the 19th century and there were three reasons for this. first the old ships we see here were simply wearing out. it was evident they would soon have to be replaced and it was only logical if they had to be replaced they should be replaced by the newer technology ships. that in itself didn't constitute a change in policy. a second reason, and really a more important one, actually had little to do with the navy at all. american attention in the 30 years after the end of the civil war had been focused inward on the south where reconstruction issues dominated national politics and on the west where the homestead act opened room for settlement and the railroa

often in the age of sail when the ship was captured the captain of the winning ship might turn to the crew of a loser and opposite employment. -- offer employment. if the few african successes like this and had little strategic impact, but to change the trajectory of the war was the french fleet. france became america's ally after the battle of saratoga in 1777, and four years later was called the battle of the capes, a french fleet which is the one on the left, drove the british fleet away from the chesapeake bay, does keeping general cornwallis trapped at yorktown enforcing a surrender or franco-american army under washington. that and, of course, those hundreds of little privateers who sap the will of the house of commons to continue the war after cornwallis surrendered. once the war ended, the american navy virtually ceased to exist. the few remaining warships were so lost, given away, and all the privateers went back to being merchant sailors. to americans in 1783 there seemed to be no good reason to have an av in peacetime. what would be the point? what revived it was a threat f
