I took a tour through an ugly side of Cape Town’s past yesterday. The Cultural History Museum is housed in a 330-year-old building called the Old Slave Lodge. Many of the exhibits focus on the horrific living conditions residents endured before slavery was abolished in 1834. The display pictured here describes the equally deplorable conditions experienced on ships en route to the Cape.
