Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Timmy Gambin's team discovered the wreck in 2020 during a COVID-postponed survey; pandemic delays ironically allowed deeper archival research into the ship's human cargo manifests.
The film deliberately avoids the term 'Barbary pirates,' using 'privateers' and 'corsairs' to expose how European legal frameworks enabled the same crimes they condemned in others.
