Everything about Fredensborg Slave Ship totally explained
Fredensborg was a
frigate built in
Copenhagen in
1752 or
1753. She was named
Cron Prindz Christian after the prince who was to become king
Christian VII of Denmark and Norway, and was fitted out as a
slave ship. After an unsuccessful stint in the
triangular trade, her operational area was limited to the
Caribbean, where she sailed as a trader until 1756. The ship was then purchased by another Danish company and renamed
Fredensborg after one of the Danish-Norwegian trading stations on the African
Gold Coast. On
December 1 1768 Fredensborg sank in a storm off
Tromøy in
Arendal,
Norway.
The wreck was discovered by divers in September
1974. One of them was
Leif Svalesen who later has worked to document the skip.
