The website provides access to over 36,000 transatlantic slave trade voyages, including information on ship names, captains, embarkation/disembarkation points, and the number of enslaved people transported. Maps, timelines, and graphs help learners visualize the scale, direction, and impact of the transatlantic slave trade. Visual literacy skills are promoted through engaging and interpretable graphics. The site includes both quantitative data and qualitative materials. This supports deeper empathy and understanding by moving beyond statistics. Despite its depth, the database does not cover all voyages or enslaved individuals. Many records were lost or never created.

Without guidance, some students may misinterpret or oversimplify the data. The heavy use of statistics may risk dehumanization the experience of enslaved people if not paired with narratives or contextual information.
