    The document discusses how a single ship called the Henrietta Marie that sank off the coast of Madagascar in 1649 tells the history of the world. The ship carried slaves from Madagascar to the Middle East, and its wreck contained artifacts from across Afro-Eurasia, reflecting global trade networks. The excavation of the ship revealed intricately carved ivory and glass, telling stories of the people and lands connected by commerce. However, it also held the deepest secret of its mission: transporting enslaved people. The ship serves as a microcosm of a world transformed by empires and globalization, for better and worse.
