Last year Britain celebrated the second centenary of prohibition of
slave trade in England and in all her colonies, principalities and
overseas territories as well as the end of this practice in north America.
To mark the occassion, last year on 21 st June 2007, a masted ship
Amistad sailed from the coast of USA on a voyage of 22,530 KM, to
be covered in 16 months. Until todate the ship is in mid-sea, it's
return expected in Oct. 2008. It's travel course is triangular, the first
leg being from America to UK, the second from UK to Africa and the
last run from Africa to USA. This three sided passage is to mark the
same routes that the ships navigated 200 years ago carrying slaves from
Africa to USA.

Now the point in the quiz is :

*Why those ships used to undertake the triangular trips ???*

Search websites, wreck your brains, recourse to encyclopaedia .....
option is yours.
