In 1794, the ship capsized, and while its captain, crew and  about half of the captives were rescued, 212 slaves drowned. The ship  is a singular lens through which to view the unfathomable scope of the  Middle Passage. \u003ci\u003eFrom No Return\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles the efforts of the  Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture  founding director Lonnie Bunch and collaborators to locate the ship and  unearth its ungodly objects, including some of the 1,130 iron bars the \u003ci\u003eSão José\u003c\/i\u003e crew used to balance the weight of the ship's human cargo, remnants of  shackles, and many other artifacts. The book features full-page  illustrations of these objects along with reproductions of the ship's  manifest, the captain's deposition, and other archival documents that  together tell a moving tale of a moment of discovery that will forever  be a part of history.","brand":"Smithsonian Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214026731775,"sku":"9781588346063","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781588346063_s600x595.jpg?v=1775585722","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781588346063","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
