2022 - Interview AT5 with archeologist Jerzy Gawronski about the search for slave ship Leusden

This interview is made in the context of the AT5-documentary "The drama of the Amsterdam slave ship Leusden".

At the end of 2022, maritime archaeologists Jerzy Gawronski (CTO Amsterdam) and Michel L'Hours (French archaeological service DRASSM) went on an expedition to find the slave ship Leusden. Previous expeditions via Suriname and French Guiana had shown that the ship has probably stranded near the mouth of the Marowijne river off the coast of the current village Awala-Yalimapo in French Guiana. In this interview, Gawronski speaks about the importance and the course of the expedition.
